Column headers in CSV using fileHelpers library?

Question

Is there a built-in field attribute in the FileHelper library which will add a header row in the final generated CSV?

I have Googled and didn\'t find much info on it

Answer 1

I found that you can use the FileHelperAsyncEngine to accomplish this. Assuming your data is a list called "output" of type "outputData", then you can write code that looks like this:

        FileHelperAsyncEngine outEngine = new FileHelperAsyncEngine(typeof(outputData));
        outEngine.HeaderText = "Header1, Header2, Header3";
        outEngine.BeginWriteFile(outputfile);
        foreach (outputData line in output){
            outEngine.WriteNext(line);
        }
        outEngine.Close();
