I want to create a tile based map with the map data stored in a file
the program will read the data one unit at a time and store the char in an array of files

example:
file1.txt
"wwwggww"

in the program I want to do something like:
file.open("file1.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
file >> tiles[i];

I don't know how to do this in C#

Look into the IO documentation for C#. You need to use something like System.IO.FileStream(). Here's a random tutorial that looks decent.

thanks, the streamreader part through me off. I was looking for methods under filestream and wasn't finding it.
