Here is a good place to get started with the concepts behind creating a facebook application. Depending on what else your app needs to do (select friends, send invites, ...) I'd probably go with an iframe app, here is a stack overflow answer on the differences between an FBML FB app and an iframe FB app.

I'm a php guy, so I can't comment on ASP, but importing a csv file is super easy in PHP. You would use the function fgetcsv on the csv file uploaded by the user, or the function str_getcsv if the user is inputing the file contents into a dialog.
