I am trying to import a csv file into a SQL server table.

The table already exists in the database.

I have gone two ways with this and both I hit a problem.

First is I populate a datagridview with the csv file. After I have done this I am stuck with how to populate the WriteToServer within the BulkCopy.

Secondly I could import direct to a DataTable and import from there buit again I am stuck in the getting the CSV file to populate the table.

I need a step by step easy to follow explanation as I have been searching and searching and keep hitting my head against a brickwall that is beginning to hurt now.

Well, In the first case how did you populate your datagridview? Do you have DataTable object around? If so, you can call WriteToServer using DataTable.

See MSDN documentation here
