Hi,

My requirement is to read an RTF File and store the content(in string format) in database of field varchar.when i try to read the file using streamreader/filestream and convert it to string, it contains some junk data like "\0\0\0...... and so on.How do I achieve this with out using any com reference.

Without seeing your code I really couldn't comment, apart from saying that the following worked fine for me.

StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(@"This is some text.rtf");
Console.WriteLine(sr.ReadToEnd());
sr.Close();
