CsvReader overview

Public Static (Shared) Methods

Parse

Creates a CsvReader object using a string of data as the source. Uses Default as the encoding.

Public Instance Constructors

CsvReader

Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the CsvReader class.

Public Instance Properties

ColumnCount	The count of columns found in the current record.
Comment	The character to use as a comment signal. Default is pound, '#'.
CurrentRecord	The index of the current record.
Delimiter	The character to use as the column delimiter. Default is comma, ','.
EscapeMode	Specifies how to escape an occurance of system characters, like the TextQualifier and Delimiter, inside field values when required. Default is Doubled.
HeaderCount	The count of headers read in by a previous call to ReadHeaders.
Headers	Returns the header values as a string array.
Item	Overloaded. Returns the current column value for a given column index.
RecordDelimiter	The character to use as the record delimiter. Default is combination of standard end of line characters for Windows, Unix, or Mac.
SafetySwitch	Safety caution to prevent the parser from using large amounts of memory in the case where parsing settings like file encodings don't end up matching the actual format of a file. This switch can be turned off if the file format is known and tested. With the switch off, the max column lengths and max column count per record supported by the parser will greatly increase. Default is true.
SkipEmptyRecords	Whether to treat a record with no data as if it wasn't there or not. When set to true, two consecutive occurances of the record delimiter will be treated as only one. Default is true.
TextQualifier	The character to use as a text qualifier in the data. Default is quote, '"'.
TrimWhitespace	Whether to trim leading and trailing whitespace characters from non-textqualified column data. Default is true.
UseComments	Whether to look for comments while parsing or not. Default is false.
UseTextQualifier	Whether to use a text qualifier while parsing or not. Default is true.
Values	Returns the columns values for the current record as a string array.

Public Instance Methods

Close	Closes and releases all related resources.
Equals (inherited from Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetHeader	Returns the column header value for a given columnIndex.
GetIndex	Gets the corresponding column index for a given headerName.
GetLength	Returns the length of a column without doing extra work to find the column's actual value.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
IsQualified	Determines whether a specified column was qualified or not.
ReadHeaders	Read the first record of data as column headers.
ReadRecord	Reads another record.
ReadToEnd	Overloaded. Reads till the end of the csv data.
SkipLine	Skips the next line of data using the standard end of line characters and does not do any column delimited parsing.
SkipRecord	Skips the next record of data by parsing each column. Does not increment CurrentRecord.
ToString (inherited from Object)	Returns a String that represents the current Object.
