c#.net

I need to access a file as text file and want to process it later. But before I fetch it how I can identify a file that I am taking is a text file only. If file is in another format my whole code interpret wrongly. I want to access and process only text file.

Currently i am using:

StreamReader objReader = new StreamReader(filePath);

How can I do so in C# .NET?
