using System;
using System.IO;
public class MyCustomReader: StreamReader {
public MyCustomReader(string path): base(path) {}
public string Text() {
return "Hello World";
}
static void Main() {
MyCustomReader reader = new MyCustomReader(@"d:\word.doc");
Console.WriteLine(reader.Text());
}
}

However, having said that, I also know that there is no parameter-less StreamReader contructor or function. You must provide, at bare minimum, a stream or a string.
