Question

in WinForm on PC i use to run like this:

FileStream FS = null;
StreamWriter SW = null;
FS = new FileStream(@"\Items.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.ReadWrite);
SW = new StreamWriter(FS, Encoding.Default);
while (SW.Peek() != -1)
{
   TEMP = (SW.ReadLine());
}

but when i try this on Windows-mobile i get error:

Error   1   'System.IO.StreamWriter' does not contain a definition for 'Peek' and no extension method 'Peek' accepting a first argument of type 'System.IO.StreamWriter' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Error   2   'System.IO.StreamWriter' does not contain a definition for 'ReadLine' and no extension method 'ReadLine' accepting a first argument of type 'System.IO.StreamWriter' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

how to do it ?

thanks

As has been mentioned, you’re using a streamwriter not a streamreader

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt")) 
            {
                string line;
                // Read and display lines from the file until the end of 
                // the file is reached.
                while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) 
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(line);
                }
            }
