Deployment Tools Foundation Namespaces ► Microsoft.Deployment.Compression ► ArchiveInfo ► OpenText(String)
Opens a file inside the archive for reading text with UTF-8 encoding without actually extracting the file to disk.

	string fileName
)

	fileName As String
) As StreamReader
public:
StreamReader^ OpenText(
	String^ fileName
)
member OpenText : 
        fileName : string -> StreamReader
Parameters
fileName (String)
The name of the file in the archive. Also includes the internal path of the file, if any. File name matching is case-insensitive.
Return Value
StreamReader
A reader for reading text directly from the packed file. Like any reader this should be closed/disposed as soon as it is no longer needed.
