Answer 1

Dim lines = File.ReadAllLines(path)
TextBox1.Text = lines.ElementAtOrDefault(0)
TextBox2.Text = lines.ElementAtOrDefault(1)
TextBox3.Text = lines.ElementAtOrDefault(2)
TextBox4.Text = lines.ElementAtOrDefault(3)

You could also use the indexer( fe lines(0) ) of the array instead of ElementAtOrDefault . But the latter has the advantage that it doesn't throw an exception if there are fewer elements.

However, i would use a ListBox instead or a single TextBox with Multiline=true :

TextBox1.Lines = File.ReadAllLines(path)

Answer 2

try to put a seprator between values stored in file, then you can read it as below:

Dim fileReader As String
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("C:\test.txt")

Dim strArray() as String = fileReader .Split("|") 'change the | by your separator

TextBox1.Text = strArray(0)
TextBox2.Text = strArray(1)
TextBox3.Text = strArray(2)
