try this
//Open a file for reading
string FILENAME = Server.MapPath("Rand.txt");
//Get a StreamReader class that can be used to read the file
StreamReader objStreamReader = default(StreamReader);
objStreamReader = File.OpenText(FILENAME);
//Now, read the entire file into a string
string contents = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
//Set the text of the file to a Web control
lblRawOutput.Text = contents;
//We may wish to replace carraige returns with
s
lblNicerOutput.Text = contents.Replace(Constants.vbCrLf, "
");
objStreamReader.Close();
