Is there a 3rd party .NET library/assembly that will parse & import files using a metadata-driven approach?

I need to parse a bunch of delimited flat files and import them into a database. I could build my own simple metadata-driven parser and importer but figure there must be something like this out there already?

Thanks, Dave.

Have you looked into SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)? It will do this, as well as the sorts of cleanup or other manipulation frequently required after parsing flat files.
