Please try one of this:<br />
<br />
textReader.BaseStream.Seek<wbr />(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); <br />
textReader.DiscardBuffered<wbr />Data(); <br />
<br />
textReader.BaseStream.Posi<wbr />tion = 0; <br />
textReader.DiscardBuffered<wbr />Data(); <br />

</div>


Please try one of this:

textReader.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
textReader.DiscardBufferedData();

textReader.BaseStream.Position = 0;
textReader.DiscardBufferedData();

I have some code that uses TextReader to look for errors in the XML file before any processing. &nbsp;I'm using: <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; textReader.ResetState(); &nbsp;// &nbsp;reset it...<br />
<br />
but it doesn't seem to be setting it back to the beginning of the stream (or file).<br />
<br />
How to fix this so I can read the TextReader from the beginning?

How to set the textreader to beginning after doing a read?
