If you need to have a string then you need to convert the bytes to base64 or hex.

Dim data() As Byte = File.ReadBytes(path, filename)
Dim Bconv As ByteConverter
datastring = Bconv.HexFromBytes(data)

file_content = Hex2Ascii(input)

Function Hex2Ascii(Hcs As String) As String
Dim l As Long
Dim a As Long

    l = Len(Hcs)
    For a = 1 To l Step 2
        Hex2Ascii = Hex2Ascii & Chr$(Val("&H" & Mid(Hcs, a, 2)))
    Next
End Function
