Answer 1

You can load content of file to string simply this way:

private string Loadfile(string filePath)
{
  string text = String.Empty;

  if (File.Exists(filePath))
  {
    StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(filePath);
    text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
    streamReader.Close();
  }

  return text;
}

Answer 2

var fileText = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
textBox.Text = fileText;

Answer 3

This should work:

    private void Loadfile(string filename)
    {
        if (File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            textBox1.Text = File.ReadAllText(filename);
        }
    }

Answer 4

The easiest way:

if (File.Exists(filePathString))
    yourTextBox.Text = File.ReadAllText(filePathString);
