I am having a problem in reading 20110531.file ,

1) First I am creating a text file 20110531.txt.

2) I am compressing it into a zip format called 20110531.zip .

3) Now when i unzip the file its not creating a text file called 20110531.txt else its creating a file without format called 20110531 not a txt format .

4) When i am trying the file to open with notepad its fine , but my code reads only text file .

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string Path1 = (string)(Application.StartupPath + "\\TEMP\\futures" +

    StreamReader reader1 = File.OpenText(Path1);

I would call

string str = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path1);

to read all text. See this MSDN reference article.
