Answer 1

I think your list already contains some of the data, you should clear it before adding new file data to it.

OpenFileDialog txtopen = new OpenFileDialog();
if (txtopen.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    list.Clear();   // <-- clear here

    string FileName = txtopen.FileName;
    string line;
    System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader(FileName.ToString());
    while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        list.Add(double.Parse(line));
    }
    //To print the arraylist
    foreach (double s in list)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    }
}

Other wise every thing seems to be fine here.

Try using Linq which doesn't add anything to existing list :

if (txtopen.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
  var result = File
    .ReadLines(txtopen.FileName)
    .Select(item => Double.Parse(item, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));

  // if you need List<Double> from read values:
  //   List<Double> data = result.ToList();
  // To append existing list:
  //   list.AddRange(result);

  Console.Write(String.Join(Environment.NewLine, result));
}
