Solution 1

if the text file contains records in correct format, then better import the data from text into SQL-Server or use MS-Excel to import the data from text. After that use that data from table in Asp.net.

Importing text file data in SQL-ServerLink[^]

Importing text file data in MSExcel is much more easier. Click Open-> browse to your file(i.e text file) and then use its text import wizard to show data in Excel.

This is the way to import/export data, but what to do for the count???

Once you import data in SQL Server, then just use the count method.
Example:
For empty columns:
select count(columnname) from <tablename> where columnname=''
for non empty columns:
select count(columnname) from <tablename> where columnname!=''

There are other ways too..
