Do you mean you want to read the contents of a stream, decoding it into
a string, and storing the result in a variable? If so:

using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(st ream))
{
string contents = reader.ReadToEn d();
}

Note that the above assumes an encoding of UTF-8. If you want a
different encoding, specify it in the StreamReader constructor.
