No this is creating of a new instance of a TextReader object.

Thanks for the reply..But if I am creating a new instance of a textreader object...

Why new streamreader passed in to it?

Thanks

The System.IO.TextReader (character oriented stream) is the abstract base/super class of System.IO.StreamReader. So, there is inheritance relationship between these two classes.

TextReader myreader = new StreamReader();

Above statement is an example of boxing. i.e Super class reference variable can hold a reference of sub-class object.
