How do you open a file and view it in a FastColoredTextBox component in c#

Question

I'm developing an HTML editor where you can edit code inside the FastColoredTextBox.dll component. I have an option for the SaveFile which i covered here.

So can anyone help with this? Please help.

You just have to load file like to default winforms textbox. fastColoredTextBox1 is just extended textbox. I tried it and it works like charm.

OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
    if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        {
        var loadedText = File.ReadAllText(ofd.FileName);
        fastColoredTextBox1.Text = loadedText;
        }

The built-in method is OpenFile which, presumably, initializes the control as intended.
