c# - Download TextFile from internet and load a ListBox with the content -

i'm downloading txt file internet unfortunately, can't load listbox content file.

that's code:

var webrequest = webrequest.create(@"http://photo-51.netau.net/changelog");          using (var response = webrequest.getresponse())         using (var content = response.getresponsestream())         using (var reader = new streamreader(content))         {             list<string> lines = new list<string>();             var strcontent = reader.readtoend();             string line;             while((line = reader.readline()) != null){                  lines.add(line);                 listbox1.items.add(lines);             }         } 

when run it, nothing happens.

you first read full stream content strcontent, thus, when reader.readline() there's nothing left read.

if remove "var strcontent = reader.readtoend();" work.

also simple way reduce code , make work this:

list<string> lines = new list<string>(); reader.addrange(sr.readtoend().split("\r\n".tochararray()));
