Display .txt file in C#

I am trying to figure out how to display a .txt file. I cannot figure out the right code. To be more specific, I am working on a project with a drawing made out of numbers and symbols and it is in a .txt file. I want to figure out the proper code to just display that in the console or something. Please help!

Keifer,

As Martin mentioned above, I'd check out the File class. One of the static methods on the File class is ReadAllText, which will read all of the text from a file.
