Do I need to reset a stream(C#) back to the start?

I don't know too much about streams in C#. Right now I have a stream that I put into a stream reader and read it. Later on in some other method I need to read the stream(same stream object) but this time I get this error

System.ArgumentException was unhandled by user code
  Message="Stream was not readable."
  Source="mscorlib"
  StackTrace:

       at System.Web.Mvc.ControllerActionInvoker.InvokeActionMethodFilter(IActionFilter filter, ActionExecutingContext preContext, Func`1 continuation)
  InnerException: 

So I am thinking maybe by reading the stream it goes to the end. Then when I try to read it again it is at the end of the stream and thats why I am getting this error.

So can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

When you read a stream to the end, specifically with StreamReader's ReadToEnd method, you have to Seek it back to the beginning. This can be done like so:

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream);
sr.ReadToEnd();
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); //StreamReader doesn't have the Seek method, stream does.
sr.ReadToEnd(); // This now works

Your conclusion is correct; once you've reached the end of your stream, you won't be able to read more data until you've reset your position within the stream:

myStream.Position = 0;

This is equivalent to seeking back to the beginning. Note that your stream must support seeking for this to work; not all streams do. You can check this with the CanSeek property.

Use BaseStream for StreamReader:

 StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(pFileStream);
 sr.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
