Did you save you documents from works as rtf documents and NOT word doc files.
If they are not rtf files they will not work in the RichTextbox control.
If you save your word document as "Word 97-2003 & 6.0/95-RTF" it will save the file as an rtf file with a doc extension...this format will allow you to open the document in previous versions of word and in your rtb
thank you all for helping me
but in my project i need to brouse for a .doc files and lode that file in the richtextbox control

RTB Controls can only load RTF formats, not doc files regardless
ahmed...if the word document file is saved in the specified format as I last indicated it will be saved with a doc extension AND an rtf compatible format...however you are correct in that it will not open a normal word document....I hope that is clear enough for you that you don't feel ot neccessary to correct my statment again!
Just to be clear here ( although this has already been said ) - the RTF control can read rich text format, NOT the Word format. You keep referring to .doc files, assuming you mean ANY Word document by this ( and that seems likely, not least because it explains why you're having trouble ), this does not work. There is no way to read a Word doc on a PC that doesn't have Word. If it does, you can use the interop assemblies to interact with Word.
Hii
'You Can Use this Sample it works With Me
'Where OpenFile Is the name of OpenFileDialog
'and rtbTopic is the name of RTB
OpenFile.ShowDialog()
Dim SR As New IO.StreamReader(OpenFile.FileName)rtbTopic.Text = SR.ReadToEnd
OpenFile.Reset()
'Note :and you can Refine the files showing in the Open File Dialog to Show the *.doc only files by the following Code Sample
OpenFileDialog.DefaultExt = "Document Files(*.doc)"
OpenFileDialog.Filter = "Document Files(*.doc)|*.doc|Text Files(*.txt)|*.txt|Rtf Files(*.rtf)|*.rtf|HTML Files(*.html)|*.html| AllFiles(*.*)|*.*"
I hope my code is usefull to you
Bye
