Master Detail Converter

This task accepts a text file and converts it to a XML file, using classes written in C#. This task supports converting hierarchical data (such as orders and their associated item lines), if the file you need to convert contains flat data, use the Basic Converter instead. Please note that this task only supports input files with two hierarchy levels, with master (i.e. parent) and detail (i.e. child) rows.
