Confused about Private Sub, Public Sub etc.

Question

Hi Folks,

Silly question, but I just can't seem to get it in my head.  I've designed a form with the standard set up...

Public Class Form1

Private Sub
End Sub

Private Sub
End Sub


End Sub

and I have a few buttons & text boxes in the Private Sub sections.

Now I want to add some code to read in a text file.  I can find examples of code all over the net so I'm ok there but where do I put it in relation to the above structure.

Every where I seem to paste it in just shows up loads of errors as though I need to create another special sub section to contain it.

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
