How to use StreamReader in .net core

Question

I am using dotnet core version 1.0.0-preview2-1-003177 in inside of Visual Studio Code C# Sharp project.

I am not sure how to use StreamReader class. Visual Studio Code IntelliSense only provides System.IO.Compression & System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles and not System.IO.StreamReader.

I am sure I'll have to add it to dependency in project.json but I'm not sure what version and how

"dependencies": {
    "System.IO.StreamReader": "--here--"
},

Answer 1

Add the System.IO nuget package. The latest version is 4.3.0.

Don't forget add the correct using statment using System.IO;.
