Downloading CSV file from webservice
I have been asked by a client to access information from a web service.
They have given me the following access code
What is the best way to get this information into a datatable so I can display this in a datagrid?
Do I have to loop through each line and split the comma separated values?
How do I save this as a CSV file?

I should have been more detailed.
I need to run this from a windows application where the user can set a number of filters to download the information.
I then need to display this in a datagridview so the user can see what they have downloaded.
