Working with Flat Files

Asked by kyleroi in C# Programming Language, .NET, ADO.Net Class Library

One of the reasons I have not converted completely from Fox to .NET yet is FoxPro's ease when it comes to working with different flat file formats.   To import a SDF file in in VFP all I have to do is "append from filenm.txt type sdf" after selecting a DBF I have created.  How would I do this in .NET?  What type of object would I import into, dataset? datatable?  How exactly would I do this?  How do I work with other formats?  Like CSV or say delimited with a character?  Maybe a "|"?Start Free Trial
