CSV to object model mapping

Question

I have a CSV file that I want to read into a List. Here\'s an example file:

Plant,Material,\"Density, Lb/ft3\",Storage Location
FRED,10000477,64.3008,3300
F         


        

Answer 1

With Cinchoo ETL library, can parse CSV file into objects

Define type matching CSV file structure as below

public class PlantType
{
    public string Plant { get; set; }
    public int Material { get; set; }
    public double Density { get; set; }
    public int StorageLocation { get; set; }
}

Load the CSV file

static void LoadCSV()
{
    using (var p = new ChoCSVReader("*** YOUR CSV FILE PATH ***")
        .WithFirstLineHeader(true)
        )
    {
        foreach (var rec in p)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(rec.Dump());
        }
    }
}
