I&#39;m using [A Fast CSV Reader][1] to parse some pasted text into a webpage. The Fast CSV reader requires a TextReader object, and all I have is a string. What&#39;s the best way to convert a string into a TextReader object on the fly?

Thanks!

Update-
Sample code- In the original sample, a new StreamReader is looking for a file called &quot;data.csv&quot;. I&#39;m hoping to supply it via TextBox_StartData.Text.

Using this code below doesn&#39;t compile.



            TextReader sr = new StringReader(TextBox_StartData.Text);
            using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(new StreamReader(sr), true))
            {
                DetailsView1.DataSource = csv;
                DetailsView1.DataBind();
            }

The `new StreamReader(sr)` tells me it has some invalid arguments. Any ideas?

As an alternate approach, I&#39;ve tried this:

            TextReader sr = new StreamReader(TextBox_StartData.Text);
            using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(sr, true))
            {
                DetailsView1.DataSource = csv;
                DetailsView1.DataBind();
            }

but I get an `Illegal characters in path Error.` Here&#39;s a sample of the string from TextBox_StartData.Text:

    Fname\tLname\tEmail\nClaude\tCuriel\tClaude.Curiel@email.com\nAntoinette\tCalixte\tAntoinette.Calixte@email.com\nCathey\tPeden\tCathey.Peden@email.com\n

Any ideas if this the right approach? Thanks again for your help!
