ITextReader

Comments

To read data saved in the text format, initialize the stream linked to the place, from which data will be read. The following streams are available:

• FileStream. The stream connected with the file on the hard drive.

• MemoryStream. The stream in the computer memory.

Pass the created stream to the constructor of the TextReader type. On working with the constructor the object is created that enables the user to read data in the text format. Use the Encoding property to specify the encoding, in which data is read. After that it is possible to read data by using various methods of the ITextReader interface. The Eof property enables the user to control data reading and determine when all data is read.
