Zhang,
To read a textfile you must use StreamReader class.
See definition and samples on MSDN:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...eamreader.aspx

Hope this helps,

A much simpler code that does work is the following:

Dim mylen As Integer

TextBox1.Text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("c:\1.txt")
mylen = TextBox1.TextLength ' returns correct information
