Since this is your previous question under another name, please give all the information!
You have the code to select a file (in your example above)
You have the code to read data from a file (in my previous answer)
You have the code to sort the data (in my previous answer)

All you don't have is the code to put the sorted data into a multiline Textbox, and frankly, that's not exactly rocket science:

C#

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(fileName);
...
myTextBox.Lines = lines;

So what is the problem? Just put all the bits together!

Dear friend, I don't have experience so much in c#...as I so you can help me.
I describe again the problem.
I have a text file in Desktop called data.txt with names and surnames. My problem is to read this file as you say "File.ReadAllLines(fileName);" and then to compare the data in file and to sort them...those name and surnime that are the same to collect together e.x
Besart Osmani
Besart Osmani
..
..
after sorting these word to put in a listbox...

I hope you understand what I need ... ! thankyou

You have everything you need!
Do it one stage at a time, moving on only when it works:
1) Select the file. (It's only two or three lines of code!) When that works, move on.
2) Read the file (One line of code!)
3) Sort the data (one line again)
4) Output the sorted data to teh textbox (One more line!)

If I give you any more I will have done your homework for you...:laugh:
Try it: if you can't get the first stage working, post your code, and I'll point out the problem - but I don't think I should write your whole submission for you!
