public string ReadFromFile(st ring filename)
{
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(f ilename);

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
string str = sr.ReadLine();
while( str != null )
{
sb.Append(str + "\n");
str = sr.ReadLine();
}

sr.Close();
return sb.ToString();
}

> public string ReadFromFile(st ring filename)

{
StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(f ilename);

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() ;
string str = sr.ReadLine();
while( str != null )
{
sb.Append(str + "\n");
str = sr.ReadLine();
}

sr.Close();
return sb.ToString();
}

or use ReadToEnd() :

string str;
using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(f ilename))
{ str = sr.ReadToEnd(); }
