use this:

try {
    using (var sr = File.OpenText("test.txt")) {
        bool flag = true;
        string newone = 20110501;//date
        string line;
        while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) {
            if (flag) {
                MessageBox.Show("Buy : " + line);
                //Its Displaying more than 50 times i want to displayit only
                //onetime and should dispose for the next Time
            }
            flag = false;
        }
    }
} catch { }

You're trying to break; from the loop.

Simple have a boolean flag saying whether the message box has already been shown or not, and use it to guard that action.

Update:

bool shown = false;
...
if( !shown )
{
     MessageBox.Show("Buy : " + line);
     shown = true;
}
