You should work on your Google skills. Searching for "c# evt file reader" provides lot of results including the CodeProject article Parsing event log(*.evt) file[^]. Most will generate a list control based GUI output. But modifying that to create a textual file instead should be no problem.

If you did not find anything that matches your requirements, you can still write your own converter. Then have a look at the Windows Event Viewer Log (EVT) format[^] which describes the EVT file format.

hi Jochen,
I need to convert .evt file in other formats like .csv or .txt.

Where is the problem?
The first link contains code to read and parse EVT files. Instead of showing the results in a list control, write the data to a text file using appropriate separators (e.g. comma and line feed for CSV and quoting fields that contain the comma the quote character). Or perform a quick search on C# CSV writers.
