how to Read and Write Data into text file using asp.net with C#





Description:-

            Here in this example we will Explain that how to Read and Write Text File in Asp.Net using C#.Net.


Reading and Writing text file content in asp.net it’s very simple but  we need to use name space called 

using System.IO;

The System.IO namespace contains types that allow reading and writing to files and data streams and types that provide basic file and directory support.

This is very useful Example because Read and Write file in application is very Required when we working with upload file database and again read or modify this file in database.

After that in code we will use Class File to get properties like

File.WriteAllLines: Creates a new file, writes one or more strings to the file, and then closes the file.

File.ReadAllLines: Opens a text file, reads all lines of the file into a string array, and then closes the file.

File.AppendAllText: Appends lines to a file, and then closes the file.

Here I am creating file in this path D:\kirit\MyTest.txt first I will create text file in this path after that I will read the text from this text file and I will display that text in textbox.

Design your aspx page like this




Default.aspx:-



<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="right">
Enter path to store file:
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtpath" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="btnCreate" runat="server" onclick="btnCreate_Click" Text="Create" />
<asp:Label ID="lbltxt" runat="server" ForeColor="Red"></asp:Label>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
<td>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileupload1" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="btnRead" runat="server" onclick="btnRead_Click" Text="Read" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
Message of Created Text file :
</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="textBoxContents" runat="server" tabIndex="0" height="100px" textMode="MultiLine" width="250px"></asp:TextBox>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>


 Default.aspx.cs:-


protected void btnCreate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string path = txtpath.Text;//Give path in this format D:\Suresh\MyTest.txt



// This text is added only once to the file.

if (!File.Exists(path))
{
// Create a file to write to.
string[] createText = { "Hello", "Welcome to aspdotnet-suresh", "Reading and writing text file" };
File.WriteAllLines(path, createText);
}
// This text is always added, making the file longer over time
// if it is not deleted.
string appendText = "This is extra text" + Environment.NewLine;
File.AppendAllText(path, appendText);
lbltxt.Text = "File Created Successfully";
}

protected void btnRead_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string path = fileupload1.PostedFile.FileName;
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
{
string[] readText = File.ReadAllLines(path);
StringBuilder strbuild = new StringBuilder();
foreach (string s in readText)
{
strbuild.Append(s);
strbuild.AppendLine();
}
textBoxContents.Text = strbuild.ToString();
}
}
}
