How To Read a Binary File In The CMS

I was wondering how do you read a binary file (i.e. an excel file, text file, ect) from within a template. Either through an attached or uploaded asset.

To read an uploaded asset you will need to use the following code:

Read an asset uploaded into the CMS

System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(BinaryFile.LoadAsBase64(xmlAsset.Id.ToString())))

 Read an asset attached to an asset

System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(BinaryFile.LoadAsBase64(asset["attachedFileFieldName"])))
