Help you with what exactly? You have to ask a question or at the very least describe some sort of a problem before you can expect to get any kind of help.... And before you just repeat yourself, "i want" is not a question or a description of a problem.

kkk
Dim webclient As New Net.WebClient()
Dim URL As String
Dim filename As String
Dim filereader As StreamReader
filereader = New StreamReader(OpenFileDialog1.FileName)
TextBox1.Text = filereader.ReadLine()
For i As Integer = 0 To 10
URL = filereader.ReadLine()
MsgBox(URL)
filename = "F:\shashank\" & i
webclient.DownloadFile(URL, filename)
Next

Okay so I would suppose that sometextbox.Text = filename is not working for you for some reason?

First, you are not trying to show any URL in any textbox inside the loop.
Second, what is happening with "MsgBox(URL)"? Does that do what you want?
Third, what happens if you replace "MsgBox(URL)" with "sometextbox.Text = URL"?
Fourth, what happens if you move "TextBox1.Text = URL" to inside the loop?

Okay and so the real, actual problem is what? I know this is going to sound mean but....
First, you seriously need to stop trying to learn programming one question at a time. It's not going to work and you will never get your project done.
Second, get yourself a basic book on programming and work through it. You have told this on more than one occasion.
Third, posting and reposting the same basic questions that you could have easily found by just getting yourself a book, taking a class, or finding a tutorial on programming is just going to annoy people and could very well get you banned from the website for abuse.
Fourth, if you seriously cannot set the text property of a Textbox with some text that you read out of a file, you have much larger problems. Especially when you already have the text and you are displaying it in a messagebox.
Fifth, the only problem that I really see here is that you are expecting people to write your code for you. It's your project and you should be doing it instead of expecting people to write all this code for you.
Sixth, you claim to be a student but do not say if this is a school project or not, at least as far as I could see. If it is a school project you need to talk to your teachers or advisers at your school and get them to assign you a project more appropriate to your skill level. At the very least they could assign you a tutor to help you with changing "MsgBox(URL)" to "thenameofthetextboxwhereyouwanttodisplaytheURL.Text = URL"

LIek has alreayd been siad. You don't have the skillset to pull this one off yet.

After look at your code snippet, putt the URL in a textbox would be the easiest thing in the world to do. The problem is that your downloading files on the UI thread, preventing the textbox from drawing itself.

You ened to completely redesign this app from the ground up to use background threads to do the work and the UI thread to, well, maintain the UI, including your on-screen list of URL's you're downloading.

The way you have this app written now, it is doomed to failure.
