lines in a text file

[nimbusania]

Hello,
I was just wondering how I would refer to a certain line in a text file. It is by using an index of some sort? here is my try:

using (StreamReader worldlist = new StreamReader("wordlist.txt"))
                            {
                                string line;
                                line = worldlist.ReadLine(count);

                                listBox1.Items.Add(line);

                            }

Unfortunately the error is "No overload for method 'ReadLine' takes '1'."
Please help?

StreamReader.ReadLine() takes no arguments.
You can hold the text file string into string then cut\split it by '\n' then refer to the index of the array returned.
Here also an example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamreader.readline.aspx

Thanks, this is a great help.
