To read a binary file you could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.io.binaryreader(v=VS.100).aspx
To drop a text file in a DataGridView I already gave a solution here: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/csharp/threads/367737/page2
Success!

You can use the BinaryReader class to read chunks of binary data. More info here:

You got to know the stucture of your file. A hexdump and some "bit puzzling" might find that out.
You could read, say 347 bytes, if that is the lenght of your "record" and drop them in a C# struct.
This can be tricky, it can depend from where you got your file if a boolean for instance is stored in 1 or 2 bytes!

i got the structure of my file,but the algorithm to decode it is my problem

[ddanbe]

Well, if you got the structure of your file, what is the problem then with start reading bytes and converting them to some readable text?
