)

Parameters

reader: Type: System.IO TextReader
The input provider.

Return Value

The method throws exception only in case of I/O problems, and never when there are format issues. The reason is to avoid inconvenient hangs in debugger sessions, when trap on exception is turned on and the application searches for a matching file type.
