Using C# and XML for validating data in flat fixed length text files.

1 New Member
Hi All,

I need to parse a fixed length (0-20, 21-40 etc) text file and validate the content against some business rules. I am thinking of writing a C# program which reads and parses the data in the text file and outputs an xml file.

Basically the C# program would be like an XML converter. I would then validate the XML file generated with an XSD file that would have the rules defined.

Is this the right approach?. What additional XML based technologies would work?

Could somebody please advise?

Thanks

So I need to load lots of data into my database. So I discover LOAD DATA INFILE. Great! This little gem loads my CSV in blazing times (compared to parsing the file and doing INSERT for each row). Its still slow on large files, but just barely acceptable. Only one problem. It truncates fields to 256 characters, even on a text field.
