Hey everybody. So confused right now, had a sequential text file loading into a list box this afternoon, opened the programme a few minutes ago and its not working! The text file was loading first name and surname onto the same line, but now it will only put the first name into it. I'm new to VB and to textfiles, so can anyone see any problem with the code below that would be causing this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Private Sub frmSelection_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Dim Datafile() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines("Datafile.txt")
        Dim query = From line In Datafile
                    Let name = line.Split(","c)(0)
                    Let surname = line.Split(","c)(1)
                    Order By name
                    Select name, surname 


        lstNames.DataSource = query.ToList


    End Sub

It certainly is yes. Do you think there is any problem with the code?

I can't see a problem but if have never use Let but just had a look on msdn on how to use let seem to correctly used have you tried using break points to step through your code.
