Symptoms
You call the TextFieldParser.EndOfData method to detect the end of text data in a Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0-based or a Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1-based application. However, sometimes the method returns True unexpectedly even if the TextFieldParser object does not reach the end of text data.
Cause
This problem occurs because of an incorrect algorithm in the TextFieldParser class. Specifically, the stream stops reading before the end of the data is reached.
