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

Course this is an extremely easy assignment. Like first semester stuff. Im pretty sure they cover I/O like 2nd week of any programming class, so it should be a piece of cake. If your taking formal classes they most undoubtedly are teaching to pass instruction via command line arguments. Try entering a few grades this way. Work on the program then simply work on the read file and parsing function later. I couldn't imagine this taking more then a day with even only week of study C#.

its really easy.. 3 lines of code to read whole file to a collection list / array...

Just look like already said on StreamReader.. Thats enough
