In VB.NET 2012. Something like this works

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.RichTextBox1.LoadFile("C:\MyDocument.rtf", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
    End Sub
End Class

Take a look at the RichTextBoxStreamType Enumeration
