Answer 1

Here's a sample using ExpandoObject and C#`s 4.0 dynamic feature

public dynamic ParseCsvFile(string filePath) {
  var expando = new ExpandoObject;
  IDictionary map = expando;
  foreach ( var line in File.ReadAllLines(filePath)) {
    var array = line.Split(new char[]{','},2);
    map.Add(array[0],array[1]);
  }
  return expando;
}

...
var d = ParseCsvFile(someFilePath);
Console.WriteLine(d.Property1);
