reading text file lines into asp.net contentplaceholder

I am new to ASP.Net and am trying to set up some content pages to work with my master page. I currently have the following text hardcoded into an asp:contentplaceholder and it works just fine. I want to read lines in from a text file to produce those headlines and retain the current formatting. I tried using the tag i need each line as a separate

tag. Below is the code in the content place holder. Id like to have this done in the Page_Load or the pre Init.

<p class="text1">---  We recently completed an evaluatio开发者_开发百科n for a large Ocean Tug fleet showing 70% particulate reduction, 11% NOx reduction and an 8% fuel economy improvement.</p>
<p class="text1">---  Our Product was added to the Grainger catalog as its primary emissions and fuel efficiency Catalyst.</p>
<p class="text1">---  Our Product is recommended by Mann-Hummel to promote better performance in Diesel Particulate Filters.</p>

The

IO.File.ReadAllLines()

method will read a text file and return to you an array of strings; one for each line of text.

You can then loop through that, building up the HTML string to place into the ContentPlaceHolder

Try the following:

    Dim Lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path)
    For Each f As String In Lines
        Response.Write("<p class='text1'>" & f & "</p>")
    Next

Edit: I noticed you want it inside a ContentPlaceHolder, therefore can't use Response.Write. If that's the case you can try using a Literal control and then append the previous code using LiteralName.Text &= f

Hopefully it helps!

Edit: Adding more code, supporting what @Brian M. has said:

Dim Content As String = String.Empty
Dim Lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(Path)
For Each TxtFromFile As String In Lines
    Content &= "<p class='text1'>" & TxtFromFile & "<p>"
Next
Me.ContentPlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(New LiteralControl(Content))

I hope it helps.
