Hi All,

    I have a requirement to read the file content and write it to a Rich textbox.

    I have tried converting byte[] to String by all Encodings(for ex: ASCII, UTF7,UTF8) but couldn't accomplish the task.

   Can anyone guide me with this issue...?

Generally a RichTextBox control has two properties, RTF and Text.

RTF expects correctly formatted Rich Text which includes all the special RTF markup codes.
The Text property expects plain text without formatting codes.

If you are reading from a text file and it does not include RTF markup, then you have no choice but to assign your "stuff" to the Text property.
