I cannot seem to figure out how to add my CSV File in a DataGrid. Can someone explain me what my approach should be?
Lets say i have a CSV file with the following co
Although i found some other way: kept it simple
This is my way i just figured:
//Location of CSV File
string CSVDataBase = @"C:\CSVDatabase.csv";
//Create Collection for DataGrid Source
ICollection CreateDataSource()
{
//Create new DataTables and Rows
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
//Create Column Headers
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("ID", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Age", typeof(string)));
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Gender", typeof(string)));
//For each line in the File
foreach (string Line in File.ReadLines(CSVDataBase))
{
//Split lines at delimiter ';''
//Create new Row
dr = dt.NewRow();
//ID=
dr[0] = Line.Split(';').ElementAt(0);
//Name =
dr[1] = Line.Split(';').ElementAt(1);
//Age=
dr[2] = Line.Split(';').ElementAt(2);
//Gender=
dr[3] = Line.Split(';').ElementAt(3);
//Add the row we created
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
}
//Return Dataview
DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
return dv;
}
Then all i had to do is:
public void loadDataGridView()
{
//Load everything in datagrid
myDataGrid.ItemsSource = CreateDataSource();
}
Thats it! is this a good approach? Anyway Thanks for the help.
