The StreamReader.ReadLine call will end when a "\r\n" pair (or others)
or the end of the stream is reached. Is there a way to tell what ended
the last call to ReadLine?

Example 1: Line 1\r\n^Z
Results in "Line 1" as the return string.

Example 2: Line 1^Z
Results in the same string. "Line 1"

Although the 2 strings results are the same their respective calls to
ReadLine terminated because of different conditions.

What can be done to tell the difference? Or is this beyond the scope
of StreamReader and I would need to create my own implementation?

Thank you,
Jason

You probably just want to parse through the underlying stream on your
own. That way you can look for the specific characters to denote a
"line".
