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

The output will look like:
