Well, you've already been given three ways to do it. Using ADO.NET, i.e. an OleDbDataAdapter, will read all the data straight into a DataTable so all the data is already split into rows and columns. If you use a StreamReader and its ReadLine method or File.ReadAllLines or .ReadLines then you'll call String.Split to split each line. If you use a TextFieldParser then the ReadFields method reads a line and splits it in one go. I suggest that you spend a bit more time studying the information already provided because you already have everything you need.
