C-Sharp (C#) Group: trying to move from BASIC to C#

Ok, talking new I just down loaded the C# free version I
found on MS
page. I have been out of programming for a while and am
trying to
develop a small application to read a pipe delimeted file.
Do some
string converstions then export to a grid system or
spreadsheet such as
Excel.
Below is the C code I've pulled so far as well as the basic
code I was
using a few days back.  Thank you!

class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Create an instance of StreamReader to read
from a file.
            // The using statement also closes the
StreamReader.
            using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader("k:New_LessonsLearned.txt"))
            {
                String line;

                // Read and display lines from the file
until the end
of
                // the file is reached.
                while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
                {

                    Console.WriteLine(line);

                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // Let the user know what went wrong.
            Console.WriteLine("The file could not be
read:");
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }
}
