Question : VB.net opening text file into DataGridView

Hi

I am trying to use the code at in the function at the end of this text to open a text file into a DataGridView before opening it into Excel using the  Workbooks.OpenText. I am not sure how to make provision in the parser for all the properties of the OpenText method as held in the variables below, especially multiple delimiters
 xlApp.Workbooks.OpenText(oFilename, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, oStartRow, oDataType, oTextQualifier, oConsecutiveDelimiter, oTab, oSemicolon, oComma, oSpace, oOther, oOtherCharacter, oFieldInfo, oTextVisualLayout, oDecimalSeparator, oThousandsSeparator, oTrailingMinusNumbers, oLocal)

    Public Function ReadFileToDGV(ByVal fileName As String) As DataTable
        'assign to datagridview
        ' Initialize the return values
        Dim dt As New DataTable

        Using parser As New TextFieldParser(fileName)

            ' Setup the comma-delimited file parser.
            parser.TextFieldType = FieldType.Delimited
            parser.Delimiters = New String() {","}
            parser.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes = True



            While Not parser.EndOfData
                Try
                    ' Read the comma-delimited text as fields into a string array.
                    Dim input As String() = parser.ReadFields()

                    'add the columns to the DataTable if they do not exist
                    If dt.Columns.Count = 0 Then
                        For i As Integer = 0 To input.Length - 1
                            dt.Columns.Add("Field" & i + 1)
                        Next
                    End If

                    'create a new DataRow
                    Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow

                    'fill the datarow with the row values
                    dr.ItemArray = input

                    'add the datarow to the DataTable
                    dt.Rows.Add(dr)

                Catch ex As MalformedLineException
                    ' Ignore mal-formed lines.
                End Try
            End While

        End Using

        Return dt

    End Function

Answer : VB.net opening text file into DataGridView

There are a lot of holes in that type of processing.  If you had mentioned this requirement before, I would have suggested a different approach.
