    Outputing an array to a textbox ?

    hey all ... just wondering if someone knows how to convert an array to a textbox. I have a StreamReader that reads in 3200 chars, and im tring to output them into a textbox, however it will only display one char. I have tried using a for loop to copy them also, but they just overwrite the first char.


    Code:
            private void inputTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
            {
                if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
                {
                    string fileName;
    
                    fileName = inputTextBox.Text;
    
                    if(File.Exists(fileName))
                    {
    
                        try
                        {
                            StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(fileName);
                            stream.ReadBlock(ASCIIHeader, 0, 3200);
                            outputFileTextBox.Text = Convert.ToString(ASCIIHeader);  // problem only outputs one char !
                        }
                        catch (IOException)
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Error reading from file", "File Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

    Thanks for any help

    Try this:
    Code:
    outputFileTextBox.Text = new string ( ASCIIHeader );
    My best code is written with the delete key.
