c# - StreamReader.ReadLine() always fails when used with POP3 -

i fail read stream in following block of code.

data = "stat"+crlf;                          szdata = system.text.encoding.ascii.getbytes(data.tochararray());             netstrm.write(szdata,0,szdata.length);             status.items.add(rdstrm.readline()); 

sample code given below.

// create server pop3 port 995         server = new tcpclient(popserv.text,995);                                        status.items.clear();          try         {             // initialization             netstrm = server.getstream();             rdstrm= new streamreader(server.getstream());             status.items.add(rdstrm.readline());              // login process             data = "user "+ user.text+crlf;                          szdata = system.text.encoding.ascii.getbytes(data.tochararray());             netstrm.write(szdata,0,szdata.length);             status.items.add(rdstrm.readline());              data = "pass "+ passw.text+crlf;                             szdata = system.text.encoding.ascii.getbytes(data.tochararray());             netstrm.write(szdata,0,szdata.length);             status.items.add(rdstrm.readline());              // send stat command information ie: number of mail , size             data = "stat"+crlf;                          szdata = system.text.encoding.ascii.getbytes(data.tochararray());             netstrm.write(szdata,0,szdata.length);             status.items.add(rdstrm.readline()); 

i want enable ssl also. please me!!!

        var client = new tcpclient(servername, port);          var sslstream = new system.net.security.sslstream(m_client .getstream());         sslstream .authenticateasclient(servername); 

everything looks good. read timeout? receiving +ok messages during log in? try doing buffer read see if getting returned. try different command.

i've never used readline() network streams. i've used beginread.

stream.beginread, checked carriage return line feed.
