.NET/C# MemoryStream and StreamReader

A good combo for reading text directly from streams.

Example code:

// Read network, sql or file stream into byte[] _stream.
using (MemoryStream MS = new MemoryStream(_stream)) {
using (StreamReader SR = new StreamReader(MS, Encoding.ASCII)) {
	txtLogWindow.AppendText(SR.ReadToEnd());
}}

ASCII assumes you also sent or stored it as it. Adapt as needed.

Alternatively for loading into a RichTextBox with only MemoryStream:

txtLogWindow.LoadFile(MS, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
