'it's failed' is in no way informational.

Maybe the bulk insert could work but you didn't tell the exact error message.

An alternative would be to read the CSV file "yourself" and issuing INSERT-commands.

For reading the CSV file I would suggest this solution: A Fast CSV Reader[^]

If you need a sample for how to do INSERTs, you'll find one here: http://www.dotnetperls.com/sqlclient[^]
You would do that in a loop for all records and you should wrap it into a transaction.
