TextReader Class
Silverlight
Represents a reader that can read a sequential series of characters.
Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The TextReader type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Close | Closes the TextReader and releases any system resources associated with the TextReader. |
|
|
Dispose() | Releases all resources used by the TextReader object. |
|
Dispose(Boolean) | Releases the unmanaged resources used by the TextReader and optionally releases the managed resources. |
|
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
|
Peek | Reads the next character without changing the state of the reader or the character source. Returns the next available character without actually reading it from the input stream. |
|
|
Read() | Reads the next character from the input stream and advances the character position by one character. |
|
|
Read(Char[], Int32, Int32) | Reads a maximum of count characters from the current stream and writes the data to buffer, beginning at index. |
|
|
ReadBlock | Reads a maximum of count characters from the current stream, and writes the data to buffer, beginning at index. |
|
|
ReadLine | Reads a line of characters from the current stream and returns the data as a string. |
|
|
ReadToEnd | Reads all characters from the current position to the end of the TextReader and returns them as one string. |
|
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
TextReader is the abstract base class of StreamReader and StringReader, which read characters from streams and strings, respectively. Use these derived classes to open a text file for reading a specified range of characters, or to create a reader based on an existing stream.
Notes to Inheritors
A derived class must minimally implement the Peek and Read methods to make a useful instance of TextReader.
