Dear friends,

I have a string variable with a data in csv format. for example:

C#

string cadena="";
cadena=
"ROYALL;0921269982;2014-02-28;4200.00
 BOSCH;025458855;2014-03-01;5000
 CELLPRODUCT;78984145445;2014-03-10;3000
"

I want to create and load a DataTable in c# with this information and if is possible
to add a header columns with this titles:

PROVIDER IDENTIFICATION_NUMBER  DATE  AMOUNT_INVOICE.

Please give me an example that i can do this.

Thanks in advance.

All what you need is OleDb[^].

For further information, please see:

Setting Options Programmatically for the Text File Driver[^]
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)[^]

[EDIT]
Sorry, my mistake.

There is nothing hard to do. You need to split string text by comma.
Have a look here:
How to: Split Strings (C# Programming Guide)[^]
and try!
