Answer 1

I'd highly suggest using CsvHelper.

Here's a quick example:

public class csvExampleClass
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Firstname { get; set; }
    public string Lastname { get; set; }
}

var items = DeserializeCsvFile>( csvText );

public static List DeserializeCsvFile(string text)
{
    CsvReader csv = new CsvReader( new StringReader( text ) );
    csv.Configuration.Delimiter = ",";
    csv.Configuration.HeaderValidated = null;
    csv.Configuration.MissingFieldFound = null;
    return (List)csv.GetRecords();
}
