How to inherit from StreamReader

Thanks a lot!

You are indeed able to extend the StreamReader class. For Example: using System; using System.IO; public class MyCustomReader: StreamReader { public MyCustomReader(string path): base(path) {} public string Text() { return "Hello World"; } static void Main() { MyCustomReader reader = new MyCustomReader(@"d:\word.doc"); Console.WriteLine(reader.Text()); } }

I don't think you can inherit from the StreamReader class. I am pretty sure that it is a sealed class, so you can only use it, not from it. However, having said that, I also know that there is no parameter-less StreamReader contructor or function. You must provide, at bare minimum, a stream or a string.
