What is StringReader Class in C#?

StringReader class implements TextReader class that reads string from string. It enables you to read a string synchronously or asynchronously. You can read a character with Read() method and read a line with ReadLine() method.

Programming Examples and Codes

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;

namespace StringReader_Class
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {            
            string text = @"You are reading

            using (StringReader reader = new StringReader(text))
            {
                int count = 0;
                string line;
                while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
                {
                    count++;
                    Console.WriteLine("Line {0}: {1}", count, line);
                }
            }
