If you are using a StreamReader, just call once ReadLine() without checking the result.
If you need to use the Stream with some other code, you can:

C#

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream);
sr.ReadLine();//will advance the stream cursor to the next line

After that, code reading from stream will begin at the next line.
