How to skip first line and start reading file from second line in C#

Question

How to start reading file from 2nd line skipping 1st line. This seems to work but is it best way to do so?

            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamRea

If the file is not very large and can fit in memory:

foreach (var line in File.ReadAllLines(varFile, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)).Skip(1))
{
    string[] values = line.Split(',');
    ...
}

If not write an iterator:

public IEnumerable ReadAllLines(string filename, Encoding encoding)
{
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(filename, encoding))
    {
        string line;
        while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            yield return line;
        }
    }
}

and then consume it:

foreach (var line in ReadAllLines(varFile, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)).Skip(1))
{
    string[] values = line.Split(',');
    ...
}
