Name

TextReader

Synopsis

This class is optimized to read a stream of sequential characters. The Read() methods read data from the front of a stream, and Peek() looks at the first character without advancing the position of an associated stream. If you need a thread-safe TextReader, use Synchronized() to create a thread-safe copy of a TextReader.

public abstract class TextReader : MarshalByRefObject : IDisposable {
// Protected Constructors
   protected method TextReader();  
// Public Static Fields
   public static readonly field TextReader Null;      // =System.IO.TextReader+NullTextReader
                  // Public Static Methods
   public static method TextReader Synchronized(
        TextReader reader);  
// Public Instance Methods
   public virtual method void Close();  
   public virtual method int Peek();  
   public virtual method int Read();  
   public virtual method int Read(in char[] buffer, int index, 
        int count);  
   public virtual method int ReadBlock(in char[] buffer, 
        int index, int count);  
   public virtual method string ReadLine();  
   public virtual method string ReadToEnd();  
// Protected Instance Methods
