csv => dataset

[abyda]

hello,

i have an idea to access one exotic database from dotnet.
the simplest solution seems for me to call database procedures through http
as webpages.
on server i plan to write program, what will translate returning data into
some text format.
as text format, i would like to use csv, not xml (or mix xml, as field
description, and csv, as main data), as xml in this case looks too bulky and
a waste of resources (this transport protocol will be invisible for
programmer).
but there are a little problem on dotnet side - how can i parse csv data
here?
if there are some csv parsers already, i wouldnt like to reinvent a wheel..

thnx

here is some microsoft code that takes a CSV and puts it into XML,
then from thier you can load it into a dataset

Just a thought
