Very new to VB and have hit a brick wall with an applicaiton

I need my combobox contorl to add each line of a text file as an item to the combobox when the application starts so it is populated for the user. Have been searching the webfor solutions and this is the first time i have turnt to a forum. Dont really know the best approach to take. Some tutorials i have looked at refer to VB6 and this is leads to even more confusion for me.

Would the approach be something to do with array?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

guivarch,

Look into the StreamReader Class, particularly the ReadLine() Member and the Peek() Member.

Once you have read up on those, give populating your ComboBox within a loop using ReadLine, then if you run into problems post the code you're having a problem with, inside code blocks like so and a detailed description/explanation of what is going wrong, any error messages you're receiving.
