Can someone guide me to convert the above varbinary(max) to xml format (decrypt) in sql server 2005?

When I tried cast data as xml I get this error:

XML parsing: line 0, character 0, unrecognized input signature

Answer 1

I know it's been a while since you asked this but I think this is what you're looking for:

 CONVERT(xml,(CONVERT(varbinary(max),ColumnName)))

I'm using this with good results
