How to create dynamic table based on csv file?

Question

I am trying to create a package to load latest csv file into the sql server and every time it should create a new table based on csv file.
1) First past of recognizing latest csv file is done, using script task. (thanks you guys for awesome post)
2) To create a table based on the latest csv. I have no clue on this one. Currently, I am using data flow task.
a)Flat File Source- using variable base on script task the file name is recognized from the source folder.
b) OLE DB Destination - how can i create table dynamically?
Also datatype for fields should be nvarchar(max)

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I applied a different approach to that.

1) I used a script task to identify the latest csv file and put that file name into a variable based on code provided on the following link:

2) I used a second script task to to create a table for every csv file based on code provided on the following link:

Now I need to call the variable using connection string to get the latest csv file. how can I call that variable?

Hey, I found a solution to it. Using a file management tool which keeps only one file at a time in a folder and using the code on the second link I can create a table.

can you not try something like:

SELECT *
INTO tempdb..temptable
FROM
OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0','Text;Database=D:\\Work\\temp\\',  
'SELECT * FROM test.csv')
