public bool IsTextFile(string FilePath)
  using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(FilePath))
  {
       int Character;
       while ((Character = reader.Read()) != -1)
       {
           if ((Character > 0 && Character < 8) || (Character > 13 && Character < 26))
           {
                    return false; 
           }
       }
  }
  return true;
}
