Loading a textfile *[RESOLVED]*

I wish to load a textfile into a richtextbox, but i'm not sure how to get the relevant path.

The textfile is situated in a 'data' folder where the program is situated. In VB6, you could have:

VB Code:

rtbAbout.FileName = App.Path & "\data\about.rtf"

but there's no app.path in VB .NET, how would I get the relevant path to the textfile?

Thanks :D

Application.StartupPath

Thanks!! :)

;)

just put "\data\file.txt" i think

define the path and then call the method like this

VB Code:

Imports System.Reflection
 
dim the_path as string =system.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
 
 
RichTextBox1.LoadFile(the_path,richTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
