how about xml?
if you know nothing about xml, read the first link on this page.

if you know something about xml, here's an example of how you write it to a file in VB .net

here's an example how you insert into an xml document that exists already.

there are lots more on reading, parsing, etc on that page. go to it.
can't go wrong there, in .NET you can write out xml easily to a file and read it back into C# or pretty much any programming langauge you want. not sure if this is what you meant, but its the way to go for flat files.
