CSV parser/reader for C#? [closed]

Answer 1

You can load a CSV file to DataTable.

Sample code -

static DataTable CsvToDataTable(string strFileName)
{
    DataTable dataTable = new DataTable("DataTable Name");

    using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0; Data Source = " + Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "; Extended Properties = \"Text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited\""))
    {
        conn.Open();
        string strQuery = "SELECT * FROM [" + strFileName + "]";
        OleDbDataAdapter adapter = 
            new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(strQuery, conn);
        adapter.Fill(dataTable);
    }
    return dataTable;
}

Make sure you compile your project to x86 processor. It doesn't work for x64.
