Just discard any lines you don't want, I assume you want to read in the alternate lines. In this case something like which follows should work.

// Open the StreamReader
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filename))
{
// Loop until the EOF
while(sr.Peek() != -1)
{
// Discard the odd lines
sr.ReadLine();
// Read in the even lines for processing
string line = sr.ReadLine();
// Process Line here
}
// Close stream
sr.Close();
}

XML or ini files ? The way you do it is not readable for any other programmer, if anyone want to edit your code or has to take over your project, they will have a hard time to learn what that file stands for ... In XML or ini you can at least comment (in your code, or in the text file itself).

Don't you also love the code?
