do you need to display with one grid data from multiple arbitrary format files, or some predefined columns data

I want to use a text file to store values from a grid and also be able to read data from the file to populate the grid. The grid should have multiple columns. For example grid: userInformation has 3 columns: Name, address, Age. The names are predefined and the users should be able to enter information for address and Age. After they're done and click save, the info needs to be saved to a text file so later on, if the user wants to load the infor, they just need to load the text file and the grid would be populated.

Text file extension is just one example, if you find other extensions that might work better, please recommend them to me. Thanks!!

the way you're going to store and get the data is up to you, now I presume that your data storage won't support linq (the grid uses linq) so you will need to do the sorting/paging yourself, that you can learn from this demo: http://demo.aspnetawesome.com/GridDemo/CustomQuerying
