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)
