Are you expecting a character encoded in the file that indicates the end of
file?

This is not a C# thing.

The file system does not encode a character to indicate the end of file
(although Ctrl-Z will still be treated as EOF by older C programs when
reading in character mode). The file system keeps track of the length of a
file, and when you've read all the characters, or bytes, in the file (as the
case may be), you are at the end. It's pretty simple.

EOF is a condition that can be detected using the properties on the stream
that you are using to read or write a file. It is not a character.

Hope this helps
