What kind of data is in your binary file?
How do you need it stored in your text file?
Edit you question, and provide better info!

For what purpose?. Simply base64 string?

If you are dealing with simple data types, then you can use BinaryReader and StreamWriter classes.
For example:
C#
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(textFileName))
{
    using (BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(
        File.Open(binaryFileName, FileMode.Open)))
    {
        //reads an int
        int myInt = reader.ReadInt32();
        //writes it
        writer.WriteLine(myInt);
        //reads a float
        float myFloat = reader.ReadSingle();
        //writes it
        writer.WriteLine(myFloat);
        ...
    }
}



But binary files can contain any kind of data. So it is up to you to read the data properly...
