Read a HTML file into a string variable in memory

If I have a HTML file on disk, How can I read it all at once in to a String variable at run time? Then I need to do some processing on that string variable.

Some html file like this:

<html>     <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" rules="all" border="1" style="border-width:1px;border-style:solid;width:274px;border-collapse:collapse;">         <COLGROUP><col width=35px><col width=60px><col width=60px><col width=60px><col width=59px></COLGROUP>         <tr style="height:20px;">             <th style="background-color:#A9C4E9;"></th><th align="center" valign="middle" style="color:buttontext;background-color:#D3DCE9;">A</th><th align="center" valign="middle" style="color:buttontext;background-color:#D3DCE9;">B</th><th align="center" valign="middle" style="color:buttontext;background-color:#D3DCE9;">C</th><th align="center" valign="middle" style="color:buttontext;background-color:#D3DCE9;">D</th>         </tr><tr style="height:20px;">             <th align="center" valign="middle" style="color:buttontext;background-color:#E4ECF7;">1</th><td align="left" valign="top" style="color:windowtext;background-color:window;">Hi</td><td align="left" valign="top" style="color:windowtext;background-color:window;">Cell Two</td><td align="left" valign="top" style="color:windowtext;background-color:window;">Actually a longer text</td><td align="left" valign="top" style="color:windowtext;background-color:window;">Final Word</td>         </tr>     </table> </html>

Use File.ReadAllText passing file location as an argument.

However, if your real goal is to parse html then I would recommend using Html Agility Pack.
