Before trying to write code to read word file in ASP.Net,C#.Net and VB.Net please add the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word reference to your project. After that below is the code to read the word file and display it in the textbox.

C#.Net: 
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Uploading file to server
    fuWordFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(fuWordFile.FileName));
    //Getting Filename
    object filename = Server.MapPath(fuWordFile.FileName);
    //Initiating Application Class
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass AC = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass();
    Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document();
    object readOnly = false;
    object isVisible = true;
    object missing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
    //Reating the word document and adding it to textbox
    try
    {
        doc = AC.Documents.Open(ref filename, ref missing, ref readOnly, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref isVisible);
        TextBox1.Text = doc.Content.Text;
        AC.Documents.Close();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        //Error Handling
    }
}

VB.Net: 
Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
 'Uploading file to server
 fuWordFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(fuWordFile.FileName))
 'Getting Filename
 Dim filename As Object = Server.MapPath(fuWordFile.FileName)
 'Initiating Application Class
 Dim AC As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass()
 Dim doc As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document()
 Dim [readOnly] As Object = False
 Dim isVisible As Object = True
 Dim missing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
 'Reating the word document and adding it to textbox
 Try
  doc = AC.Documents.Open(filename, missing, [readOnly], missing, missing, missing, _
   missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, isVisible)
  TextBox1.Text = doc.Content.Text
  AC.Documents.Close()
   'Error Handling
 Catch ex As Exception
 End Try
End Sub

    There is another way to read word file in C#/.NET without installing MS office on your system/server is by using Aspose.Words for .NET Library. You can not only read word file but can also write/edit existing or new word file and can create new word file and convert your word documents to many other supported formats in c#/.net.

C# Extension Methods Example

By
In this article i am going to explain about Extension Methods  with example. Extension methods enable you to "add" methods to existing types without creating a new derived type, recompiling, or otherwise modifying the original type. Extension methods are a special kind of static method, but they are called as if they were instance methods on the extended type. For client code written in C# and Visual Basic, there is no apparent difference between calling an extension method and the methods that are actually defined in a type. If you do implement extension methods for a given type, remember the following points: An extension method will never be called if it has the same signature as a method defined in the type. Extension methods are brought into scope at the namespace level. For example, if you have multiple static classes that contain extension methods in a single namespace named Extensions, they will all be brought into scope by the using Extensions; directive. ...
