csvhelper

I'm using A Fast CSV Reader to parse some pasted text into a webpage. The Fast CSV reader requires a TextReader object, and all I have is a string. What's the best way to convert a string into a TextReader object on the fly? Thanks! Update- Sample code- In the original sample, a new StreamReader is looking for a file called "data.csv". I'm hoping to supply it via TextBox_StartData.Text. Using this code below doesn't compile. TextReader sr = new StringReader(TextBox_StartData.Text); using (CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(new StreamReader(sr), true)) { DetailsView1.DataSource = csv; DetailsView1

I'm using CSVHelper to read in lots of data I'm wondering if it's possible to read the last n columns in and transpose them to a list "Name","LastName","Attribute1","Attribute2","Attribute3" And mould the data into something like this public class Person { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public IList<string> Attributes { get; set; } } I'm looking to do this in one step, I'm sure I could have an intermediate step where I put into an object with matching attribute properties but it would be nice to do it on a one-er This does the trick as a mapper.

I'm using CsvHelper. To write to a .csv file, I need a header based off of a class. I write the header manually and it works, but I need to be done automatically when it is read. All the documentation I can find says to use this expression, writer.WriteHeader<CSVDataFormat>(); but that isn't working because it needs more work done to it. Here is the class that the header should be based off: public class CSVDataFormat { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public float Wage { get; set; } } Here is the code for the reading and writing: private void ReadCSV

I've been doing some CSV reading and writing lately, and ran across CsvHelper which is fantastic so far. I've ran into one small problem; I use a custom converter when reading the files, but when I write them back out, that format is lost. My CSV format looks like this: 67,1234-1,20150115,750,20150115,1340,549,549,406,0,FRG The fields 20150115,750 map to a single DateTime field called Start (So, 01/15/2015 7:50 AM). My class map looks like this: public sealed class DutyMap : CsvClassMap<Duty> { static readonly CultureInfo enUS = new CultureInfo("en-US"); public DutyMap() { Map(m => m.PersonId)

I'm trying to use CSVHelper to generate a CSV file and send it back to a browser, so the user can select a save location and filename and save the data. The website is MVC based. Here' the jQuery button code I'm using to make the call (data is some serialised Json representation of a DTO list): $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: unity.baseUrl + "common/ExportPayments", data: data }); Here's the controller code: [HttpPost] public FileStreamResult ExportPayments() { MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(ms); CsvWriter writer = new CsvWriter(sw); List<Payment_dto> pd =

I have the following method: public byte[] WriteCsvWithHeaderToMemory<T>(IEnumerable<T> records) where T : class { using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream()) using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(memoryStream)) using (var csvWriter = new CsvWriter(streamWriter)) { csvWriter.WriteRecords<T>(records); return memoryStream.ToArray(); } } Which is being called with a list of objects - eventually from a database, but since something is not working I'm just populating a static collection. The objects being passed are as follows: using CsvHelper.Configuration; namespace Application.Models
