Read some lines from a text file

[JustRun]

Hi all

I'm trying to read some lines from a text file, and don't know how to do this.
Actually I could read the whole file using object of StramReader,
but to read custom line I think that I should use BeginRead() and EndRead() of FileStream class, but I dont know how to use them. I dont understand the parameters of them.

If any one could explain, I'll be grateful.
Thanks

try this:

string line;
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"C:\testFile.txt"))
{
   // read the first line
  line = reader.ReadLine();
  // read second line
  line = reader.ReadLine();
 
  while (!reader.EndOfStream)
  {
      // read next and next line till end of file
      line = reader.ReadLine();
  }
}

One thing I have done is ReadToEnd() into a string and then .Split it around the newlines to get an array of the lines.
