You need to process the drop action, get the filename of the dropped fileand read the file contents into the text box. There is an example of dropping files here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa289508(VS.71).aspx?ppud=4#vbtchimpdragdropanchor6and a full example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.dodragdrop.aspxUse My.Computer.FileSystem to read the text file into the textbox.

You need to take the two subroutines listed there and convert them to use your form and your text box instead of a listbox, by changing the control namesfrom listbox1 to whatever your textbox is called, and you need to replace the lines that insert the filenames into the listbox with the line from the third example that copies a file contents into a text box. If the textbox for displaying the file contents was TextBoxDrop and the drop should be triggered when the cursor move onto the textbox (not onto the form, as per your description) then the code is:
Private Sub TextBoxDrop_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) _
Handles TextBoxDrop.DragEnter
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBoxDrop_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) _
Handles TextBoxDrop.DragDrop
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
Dim MyFiles() As String
' Assign the files to an array.
MyFiles = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop)
' Display the file Name
'TextBoxDrop.Text = MyFiles(0)
' Display the file contents
TextBoxDrop.Text = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(MyFiles(0))
End If
End Sub
