What is the shortest way to get the string content of a HttpPostedFile in C#

I have an HttpPostedFile object and just need to extract the content of the posted file.

I found this link but that's a very long process to just obtain a string with the content.

Is there any shorter way? (Preferably, a one line instruction.)

StreamReader.ReadToEnd
