Explanation:

Here, we created a class Demo that contains the Main() method. The Main() method is the entry point of the program, here we opened an already existing file (d:\data.txt) and then read the content of the file using ReadByte() method character by character till the end of the file, but ReadByte() method returns integer value then we need to typecast it into character type, and print data on the console screen.
