Hi

It looks like it is working, as you can see the content displayed.

string fileName = (string)annotationFRI.Attributes["filename"]; string noteText = (string)annotationFRI.Attributes["notetext"]; string documentBody = (string)annotationFRI.Attributes["documentbody"]; byte[] fileContent = Convert.FromBase64String(documentBody);

My .doc file attachment get encode in my 'activityattachment' . so using c# i can get the 'body' value .but using that value i cant get the text/string directly.

i tired using,

var encode= ent.Attributes["body"].ToString();
byte[] byt = Convert.FromBase64String(encode);
string decodedString = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(byt);

in "decodedstring" i am getting the some junk values(pic in above post).

This probably aren't 'junk values' - this is the body of the document. Word documents need to be parsed by software that understands the document format, i.e. Microsoft Word

We can tell you how to use CRM SDK to correctly extract the contents of that attachment, but not necessarily how to parse a word document in your code. This might be a question you can get answered faster at stackoverflow (or C# forums)
