Sure, just load the file text to the TextBox like:

textBox1.Text = File.ReadAllText(@"Your input file path");

You can let the user choose the file using OpenFileDialog and specify a format accepted in the dialog filter.

If you want to also read rtf text then I think you need a RichTextBox instead of TextBox here so you can read rtf text probably using richTextBox1.Rtf string.
