the code below takes delimited string, splits , adds values datagridview column. though i'm still struggling see why want this.

string csv = "name,surname,telephone,address"; string[] split = csv.split(',');  datagridviewtextboxcolumn subject = new datagridviewtextboxcolumn(); subject.headertext = "subject type"; subject.name = "subject";  datagridview1.columns.add(subject);  foreach (string item in split) {     datagridview1.rows.add(item); }
