Open File text into Textbox

[Psynic]

I am tryin to open a file's text into my textbox for my notepad project. this code works until

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);

Where it says the stream is unreadable. can anyone shed some light on this situation? +rep thanks to all for the help.

        private void fileToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog opDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
            opDialog.Title = "Specify File To Open..";
            opDialog.Filter = "Any Type(*.*)\"|*.*";
            if (opDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                FileStream fs = new FileStream(opDialog.FileName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.ReadWrite);
                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);

                if (opDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {
                  richTextBox1.Text = opDialog.FileName;
                }
                
            }
        }

This will open a file.

  openFile.FileName = "";
            openFile.Title = "Open A Text Document.";
            
            openFile.Filter = "(*.txt)|*.txt|(*.etf)|*.etf";
            DialogResult result = openFile.ShowDialog();

            if (result == DialogResult.OK)


            {
                //Reokads the text file
                System.IO.StreamReader OpenFile = new System.IO.StreamReader(openFile.FileName);
                //Displays the text file in the textBox
                textBox.Text = OpenFile.ReadToEnd();
                //Closes the proccess
                OpenFile.Close();
            }

Yess thanks game maker savin my butt once again do you happen to know how i could get my textbox to scale with the window if its maximized?

Ya all you need to do is go into properties(of the textbox) and find the dock properties and set it to the center dock and it will size with the form.

again use "using" keyword. This frees resources even if exception occurs.
