However, I think the real thing you want to do is creating your own ContentType that use CSV as data-source. Our editor guy will write a tutorial next week how to do this.

Of course integrating it as ContentData is more safe and allows you to switch to Xml or Json without having to change your code, plus it will work on all platforms.
