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. The embedded resource is a text file so, how can I turn this Stream into a TextReader?

Answer 1

TextReader tr = new StreamReader(stream); 

Answer 2

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. }
