We have a small c# tool that we threw together to parse a data file, build up some objects and insert them into the DB. The logic is essentially. string [] lines = File.ReadAllLines("C:\\Temp\\Data.dat") foreach(string line in lines) { MyDataObject obj = ParseObject(line); myDataContext.MyDataObjects.InsertOnSubmit(obj); } my...
