C# Grade Program! Need Assistance!

hey guys im at uni.. studying computer science.. this is actually the first big assignment i gata do but they havent taught us how to do the main bits in it yet..
The assignment is due in 4 weeks time.. so i better start now..

but what i needed help with is that my program has to take its information from a .dat source file and use the information within that .dat file to perform its grade calculations etc..
they have not taught us yet (and i dont think they will before the assignment hand in date), how to take the information from this source file!

i would greatly appreciate any help that anyone could provide me in this area!

regards

Wrong section, but before it's closed or moved I'll give you a few hints because you seem honest and eager to learn

Look up on: Reading and writing to a file

and

String manipulation

Good luck on your assigment
