    <remarks>
      <para>The <see cref="T:System.IO.StreamReader" /> class is designed for
   character input in a particular <see cref="T:System.Text.Encoding" />, whereas subclasses of <see cref="T:System.IO.Stream" /> are designed for byte input and output.</para>

        <para>
          <see cref="T:System.IO.StreamReader" /> defaults to UTF-8 encoding unless specified
   otherwise, instead of defaulting to the ANSI code page for the current system.
   UTF-8 handles Unicode characters correctly and provides consistent results on localized
   versions of the operating system.</para>
        <para>When reading from a <see cref="T:System.IO.Stream" />, it is more efficient to use a buffer that is the
same size as the internal buffer of the stream.</para>
        <para>By default, a <see cref="T:System.IO.StreamReader" /> is not thread safe. For a
thread-safe wrapper, see <see cref="M:System.IO.TextReader.Synchronized(System.IO.TextReader)" qualify="true" />
