Testing file for type of data

jtencate at 18:58 on Tuesday, October 26, 2004

I have a program that requires the opening of a text file. I would like to be able to ensure that the file they have opened is text and not binary.

Does anyone know of a way to check the file stream to see if it is plain text or binary data?

TIA

<Added>

The program is in C#
