abstract class

This class is optimized to read a stream of sequential characters . The Read( ) methods read data from the front of a stream, and Peek( ) looks at the first character without advancing the position of an associated stream. If you need a thread-safe TextReader , use Synchronized( ) to create a thread-safe copy of a TextReader .
