Binary File from Database to .rtf in .Net control
I have one vi where I save a .rtf file to a database like so:
Later, I get the file from the database and save it as an .rtf before I open it with another vi (rtf viewer.vi😞
However, Although rtf viewer.vi will work with files that are not uploaded to the database, it cannot read these files. Opening a file in Notepad++ gets me the following:

I can see that the data appears to be there in the file. I'm not sure what I need to do though to get the data back into RTF format.

What happens if you convert the Variant to String before saving the temporary rft?
/Y
In LabVIEW, the data becomes readable from the string as this text: (Which won't Ctrl+C _> Ctrl+V for some reason)
However, the file turns into total jibberish in notepad ++ but it DOES Ctrl+C Ctrl+V to:
