I have a Steam, it read from a text file.
How can I convert this Stream to a String?

What kind of stream? You should be able to use a StreamReader to get
the contents of the stream.

Is StreamReader.ReadToEnd() what you are looking for?

The easiest way is skip the stream and just do File.ReadAllText().

Alternatively, if you must use the stream, then do:

---8<---
new StreamReader(stream).ReadToEnd()
--->8---
