Have a look at the SqlBulkCopy class. This allows you to bulk copy data into a table in a single call.
Typically, this is used to load data into a staging table, followed by a further call (usually to a stored procedure) which moves the data from the staging table to production table(s).
You may, however, choose to use it to append data directly to a production table.
The approach you choose will obviously be driven by how your database is engineered and the particular data you are loading.
