Get a TextReader from a Stream?

Question

I\'m trying to read an embedded text file with System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(resource); but it gives me a Stream

Answer 1

A StreamReader is a subclass of TextReader, so you will be able to do:

using(var stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().
    GetManifestResourceStream(resource))
using(var reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
    // Use reader.
}
