StreamReader Constructor (String, Boolean)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When it is called by trusted applications, initializes a new instance of the StreamReader class for the specified file name, using the specified byte order mark detection option.

Namespace:  System.IO
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    path As String, _
    detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks As Boolean _
)

public StreamReader(
    string path,
    bool detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks
)

Parameters

  • detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks
    Type: System.Boolean
    true to look for byte order marks at the beginning of the file; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

path is an empty string ("").
ArgumentNullException

path is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
FileNotFoundException

The file cannot be found.
DirectoryNotFoundException

The specified path is invalid; for example, it might refer to an unmapped drive.
IOException

path includes an incorrect or invalid syntax for file name, directory name, or volume label.

Remarks

This constructor initializes the encoding to UTF8Encoding, the BaseStream property using the stream parameter, and the internal buffer to the default size.

The path parameter can be a file name, including a file on a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share.

The path parameter is not required to be a file stored on disk; it can be any part of a system that supports access using streams.

The detectEncodingFromByteOrderMarks parameter detects the encoding by looking at the first three bytes of the stream. It automatically recognizes UTF-8, little-endian Unicode, and big-endian Unicode text if the file starts with the appropriate byte order marks. Otherwise, the user-provided encoding is used. See the Encoding.GetPreamble method for more information.
