I'm using A Fast CSV Reader to parse some pasted text into a webpage. The Fast CSV reader requires a TextReader object, and all I have is a string. What's the best way to convert a string into a TextReader object on the fly? Thanks! Update- Sample code- In the original sample, a new StreamReader is looking for a file called "data.csv". I'm hoping to supply it via TextBox_StartData.Text. Using this code below doesn't compile. TextReader sr = new StringReader(TextBox_StartData.Text); using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(new StreamReader(sr), true)) { DetailsView1.DataSource = csv; DetailsView1.DataBind(); } The new StreamReader(sr) tells me it has some invalid arguments. Any ideas? As an alternate approach, I've tried this: TextReader sr = new StreamReader(TextBox_StartData.Text); using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(sr, true)) { DetailsView1.DataSource = csv; DetailsView1.DataBind(); } but I get an Illegal characters in path Error. Here's a sample of the string from TextBox_StartData.Text: Fname\tLname\tEmail\nClaude\tCuriel\tClaude.Curiel@email.com\nAntoinette\tCalixte\tAntoinette.Calixte@email.com\nCathey\tPeden\tCathey.Peden@email.com\n Any ideas if this the right approach? Thanks again for your help!
