Setting FCKEditor value to rtf text

I am trying to show a rtf database field to users via an ASP.Net application. I have downloaded fckeditor 2.6.5 as well as the .Net component, and have placed the control on my page. I then load the page and set the value of the fckeditor to the rtf data field. The fckeditor control then just shows the raw rtf data value, rather than readable text. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Code snippet:

from aspx:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0">
<tr>
<td><B>Remarks:</B></td>
<td>
<FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor ID="fckRemarks" BasePath ="~/FCKEditor/" runat="server">
</FCKeditorV2:FCKeditor>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

from code behind:

string strRemarks = getRemarks(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
fckRemarks.Value = strRemarks;
fckRemarks.ToolbarStartExpanded = false;
