Can we read QVD file in .NET

Is there any QV API function to read the QVD file without using QV software?

There is nothing like that, QlikView is the only software able to read/write qvd files.

You could probably load the QVD in QlikView, export it to CSV, and then load in the CSV. You could probably control all that from .NET somehow. But QVD is a proprietary format.

you cannot read WVD file in any other tool excepting Qlikview. But You can indirectly use Qlikview data in any other tool.

I wrote a QVD viewer (it can be downloaded here) but since QVD specification isn't publicly available I had to decode it myself. Finally, it's doable.

Generally, the right way is to use QVX format for data exchange with 3rd pary systems. Its specification is publicly available and promoted by QlikTech.
