doc file

[Hrvoje Voda]

Is there a way to read a .doc file text into a listBox?

Hrcko,
Assuming that in this context "doc" means a Microsoft Word document file,
no, as Word documents are stored in a binary format. You would either need to
convert the file and save it as text (using Word, for example) or use the
Word Object Model to load and read the document and get the text that way.

As Peter says, you can't do it directly. You could create a
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application instance, and then use
Documents.Open(...) to load up your file and read from it
programmatically; this however requires the end user to have a recent
version of Word installed and is rather heavy on resources.

Hi,

You need to provide more details , a .doc file is more suitable to a
Textbox than to a listbox
