So i have a text file where each line represents a button name.

What the code I need to read this file  and creatre a new button from
each line..


so far I just have code to read the whole file


     Dim TextFileStream As System.IO.TextReade
        TextFileStream = System.IO.File.OpenText("C:\MyTextFile.txt")
         Dim MyFileContents As String = TextFileStream.ReadToEnd

Here's your solution:

' Import
Imports System.io

' Add two buttons & add this code:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim sr As New StreamReader("C:\ButtonNames.txt")
        Dim strTemp As String
        Dim intTop As Integer = 50
        Do While sr.Peek > -1
            strTemp = sr.ReadLine
            Dim btn As New Button
            btn.Name = "btn" & strTemp
            btn.Text = strTemp
            btn.Left = 10
            btn.Height = 24
            btn.Top = intTop
            Me.Controls.Add(btn)
            Me.Invalidate()
            intTop += 50
        Loop
        sr.Close()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Application.Exit()
    End Sub

I created a textfile like so

One
Two
Three
Four

Have added the project to this post too

I hope this helps,

Cool!

You learn a new thing everyday. Having seen System.IO.File.OpenText, I
wondered if there was something like 'ReadToEnd'. And so it has:

  Dim Text As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(FileName)

or, if you prefer it already split into lines:

  Dim Lines() As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName)
