Question

What is the difference between File.ReadAllLines() and File.ReadAllText() ?

Answer 1

ReadAllLines returns an array of strings. Each line contains one line of the file.

ReadAllText returns a single line containing all lines of the file.

Answer 2

File.ReadAllText () returns a single large string containing the entire contents of the file, while File.ReadAllLines () returns a string array of strings in the file.

Keep in mind that in the case of ReadAllText, "The received row does not contain the final carriage return and / or row feed."

Answer 3

ReadAllText reads all this as a single string, ReadAllLines reads it as a StringArray .
