BinaryReader does not have EndOfStream property. Is it safe to use following code to check if end of stream is reached?

reader.BaseStream.Length>reader.BaseStream.Position

The easiest way I found is to check the returned value of the BinaryReader's PeekChar() method. If it returns -1, then you reached the end of the stream.
