Importing data, need to write a custom console application.

Good morning guys,

For this week i have a task that takes a csv file given from our client and i need to import that file in my leads.

Now i already tested the simple way of using import data, uploading the file choosing the mapping setting, unfortunately this is where my problems start.

Biggest issue i have is that when i upload the file MS CRM seems not to be uploading all of my headers, which means im losing a lot of data somewhere during the upload of the file.

Just to put things in context i have 24 columns in my source file but i'm only able to map 12 of those when i come to the mapping step.(when I say map i mean literally i cannot find the rest of the columns from my source file even though i have matching fields as part of my entity)

Any advice on how to write a console application that consumes the source file and does the mapping programmatically and then uploads the newly created csv file is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Filip.
