Question

How to start reading file from 2nd line skipping 1st line. This seems to work but is it best way to do so?

            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(varFile, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250))) {
                string[] stringSeparator = new string[] { "\",\"" };
                int i = 0;
                while (!sr.EndOfStream) {                    
                    string line = sr.ReadLine(); //.Trim('"');
                    if (i > 0) {
                        string[] values = line.Split(stringSeparator, StringSplitOptions.None);

                        for (int index = 0; index < values.Length; index++) {

                            MessageBox.Show(values[index].Trim('"'));
                        }
                    }
                    i++;
                }
            }

If the file is not very large and can fit in memory:

foreach (var line in File.ReadAllLines(varFile, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)).Skip(1))
{
    string[] values = line.Split(',');
    ...
}

If not write an iterator:

public IEnumerable<string> ReadAllLines(string filename, Encoding encoding)
{
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(filename, encoding))
    {
        string line;
        while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
        {
            yield return line;
        }
    }
}

and then consume it:

foreach (var line in ReadAllLines(varFile, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250)).Skip(1))
{
    string[] values = line.Split(',');
    ...
}
