(https://github.com/joshclose/csvhelper)

A .NET library for reading and writing CSV files. Extremely fast, flexible and easy to use. Supports reading and writing of custom class objects.

Getting Started
To install CsvHelper, run the following from the Package Manager Console. (http://docs.nuget.org/docs/start-here/using-the-package-manager-console) 1I n s t a l l P a c k a g eC s v H e l p e r

Reading
Reading all records
Reading is setup to be as simple as possible. If you have a class structure setup that mirrors the CSV file, you can read the whole file into an enumerable. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v R e a d e r (t e x t R e a d e r) ; 2v a rr e c o r d s=c s v . G e t R e c o r d s < M y C l a s s > ( ) ; If you want to customize how the CSV file maps to your custom class objects, you can use mapping.

The IEnumerable<T> that is returned will yield results. This means that a result isn't returned until you actually access it. This is handy because the whole file won't be loaded into memory, and the file will be read as you access each row. If you do something like Count() on the IEnumerable<T>, the whole file needs to be read and you won't be able to iterate over it again without starting over. If you need to iterate the records more than once (like using Count), you can load everything into a list and the work on the data. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v R e a d e r (t e x t R e a d e r) ; 2v a rr e c o r d s=c s v . G e t R e c o r d s < M y C l a s s > ( ) . T o L i s t ( ) ;

Reading records manually

You can loop the rows and read them manually. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v R e a d e r (t e x t R e a d e r) ; 2w h i l e (c s v . R e a d ( )) 3{ 4 v a rr e c o r d=c s v . G e t R e c o r d < M y C l a s s > ( ) ; 5}

Reading individual fields

You can also read each field manually if you like. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v R e a d e r (t e x t R e a d e r) ; 2w h i l e (c s v . R e a d ( )) 3{ 4 v a ri n t F i e l d=c s v . G e t F i e l d < i n t > (0) ; 5 v a rs t r i n g F i e l d=c s v . G e t F i e l d < s t r i n g > (1) ; 6 v a rb o o l F i e l d=c s v . G e t F i e l d < b o o l > (" H e a d e r N a m e ") ; 7}

TryGetField
If you might have inconsistencies with getting fields, you can use TryGetField. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v R e a d e r (t e x t R e a d e r) ; 2w h i l e (c s v . R e a d ( )) 3{ 4 i n ti n t F i e l d ; 5 i f (! c s v . T r y G e t F i e l d (0 ,o u ti n t F i e l d)) 6 { 7 / /D os o m e t h i n gw h e ni tc a n ' tc o n v e r t . 8 } 9}

Writing
Writing all records
Writing is setup to be as simple as possible. If you have a class structure setup that mirrors the CSV file, you can write the whole file from an enumerable.

1v a rc s v=n e wC s v W r i t e r (t e x t W r i t e r) ; 2c s v . W r i t e R e c o r d s (r e c o r d s) ; If you want to customize how the CSV file maps to your custom class objects, you can use mapping.

Writing records manually

You can loop the objects and write them manually. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v W r i t e r (t e x t W r i t e r) ; 2f o r e a c h (v a ri t e mi nl i s t) 3{ 4 c s v . W r i t e R e c o r d (i t e m) ; 5}

Writing individual fields

You can also write each field manually if you like. 1v a rc s v=n e wC s v W r i t e r (t e x t W r i t e r) ; 2f o r e a c h (v a ri t e mi nl i s t) 3{ 4 c s v . W r i t e F i e l d (" a ") ; 5 c s v . W r i t e F i e l d (2) ; 6 c s v . W r i t e F i e l d (t r u e) ; 7}

Mapping
Auto Mapping
If you don't supply a mapping file, auto mapping will be used. Auto mapping will map the properties in your class in the order they appear in. If the property is a custom class, it recursively maps the properties from that class in the order they appear in. If the auto mapper hits a circular reference, it will stop going down that reference branch.

Fluent Class Mapping

If your CSV file doesn't match up exactly with your custom class, you can use a fluent class map to set options for how the class maps to the file. You need to register your class map in configuration. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) ; 6 M a p (m=>m . N a m e) ; 7 } 8}

Reference Map
Reference maps are used to map a property that is a custom class to it's own mapping that maps those properties to several CSV columns. You can nest reference maps as many layers deep as you like.

1p u b l i cc l a s sP e r s o n M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < P e r s o n > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) ; 6 M a p (m=>m . N a m e) ; 7 R e f e r e n c e s < A d d r e s s M a p > (m= >m . A d d r e s s) ; 8 } 9} 1 0 1 1p u b l i cc l a s sA d d r e s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < A d d r e s s > 1 2{ 1 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 1 4 { 1 5 M a p (m= >m . S t r e e t) ; 1 6 M a p (m= >m . C i t y) ; 1 7 M a p (m= >m . S t a t e) ; 1 8 M a p (m= >m . Z i p) ; 1 9 } 2 0}

Index
When mapping by index you specify the index of the CSV column that that you want to use for that property. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) . I n d e x (0) ; 6 M a p (m= >m . N a m e) . I n d e x (1) ; 7 } 8}

Name
When mapping by name you specify the name of the CSV column that you want to use for that property. For this to work, the CSV file must have a header record. The name you specify must match with the name of the header record. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) . N a m e (" T h eI dC o l u m n ") ; 6 M a p (m= >m . N a m e) . N a m e (" T h eN a m eC o l u m n ") ; 7 } 8}

Name Index
Sometimes CSV files have multiple columns with the same name. When this happens, you can use NameIndex to specify which column name you are referring to. The NameIndex is NOT the column in the CSV file. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . F i r s t N a m e) . N a m e (" N a m e ") . N a m e I n d e x (0) ; 6 M a p (m= >m . L a s t N a m e) . N a m e (" N a m e ") . N a m e I n d e x (1) ; 7 } 8}

Ignore
Currently this is not used. Mapping will only map properties that you specify. In the future there will be an

option to auto map within a class map, and any mappings explicitly stated will override the auto mapped ones. When this happens, ignore will be used to ignore a property that was auto mapped.

Default
Default is used to set a default value you want to use if the field is empty. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) . I n d e x (0) . D e f a u l t (1) ; 6 M a p (m= >m . N a m e) . I n d e x (1) . D e f a u l t (" U n k n o w n ") ; 7 } 8}

Type Converter
If the value of the CSV field can't automatically be converted into the type of the property, you can specify a custom CsvHelper.TypeConversion.ITypeConverter to be used to convert the value. See Type Conversion for documentation on how to create a custom type converter. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . I d) . I n d e x (0) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r < M y I d C o n v e r t e r > ( ) ; 6 } 7}

Type Converter Options

The default built in converters will handle most cases of type conversion, but sometimes there are some small changes that you'd like to make, but don't want to create a whole new type converter that just parses an int (for example) differently. You can specify some type converter options to handle these cases. 1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 M a p (m= >m . D e s c r i p t i o n) . I n d e x (0) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n ( C u l t u r e I n f o . I n v a r i a n t C u l t u r e) ; 6 M a p (m= >m . T i m e S t a m p) . I n d e x (1) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n ( D a t e T i m e S t y l e s . A d j u s t T o U n i v e r s a l) ; 7 M a p (m= >m . C o s t) . I n d e x (2) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n ( N u m b e r S t y l e s . C u r r e n c y) ; 8 M a p (m= >m . C u r r e n c y F o r m a t) . I n d e x (3) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n (" C ") ; 9 M a p (m= >m . B o o l e a n V a l u e) . I n d e x (4) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n (t r u e ," s u r e " ) . T y p e C o n v e r t e r O p t i o n (f a l s e ," n o p e ") ; 1 0 } 1 1}

Convert Using
When all else fails, you can use ConvertUsing. ConvertUsing allows you to write custom code inline to convert the row into a single property value.

1p u b l i cc l a s sM y C l a s s M a p:C s v C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s > 2{ 3 p u b l i co v e r r i d ev o i dC r e a t e M a p ( ) 4 { 5 / /C o n s t a n tv a l u e . 6 M a p (m= >m . C o n s t a n t) . C o n v e r t U s i n g (r o w= >3) ; 7 / /A g g r e g a t eo ft w or o w s . 8 M a p (m= >m . A g g r e g a t e) . C o n v e r t U s i n g (r o w= >r o w . G e t < i n t > (0)+ r o w . G e t < i n t > (1)) ; 9 / /C o l l e c t i o nw i t has i n g l ev a l u e . 1 0 M a p (m= >m . N a m e s) . C o n v e r t U s i n g (r o w= >n e wL i s t < s t r i n g > { r o w . G e t < s t r i n g > (" N a m e ")}) ; 1 1 / /J u s ta b o u ta n y t h i n g . 1 2 M a p (m= >m . A n y t h i n g) . C o n v e r t U s i n g (r o w= > 1 3 { 1 4 / /Y o uc a nd oa n y t h i n gy o uw a n ti nab l o c k . 1 5 / /J u s tm a k es u r et or e t u r nt h es a m et y p ea st h ep r o p e r t y . 1 6 }) ; 1 7 } 1 8}

Configuration
Allow Comments
This flag tells the parser whether comments are enabled. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . A l l o w C o m m e n t s=f a l s e ;

Auto Map
This is used to generate a CsvClassMap from a type automatically without a fluent class mapping. This will try to map all properties including creating reference maps for properties that aren't native types. If the auto mapper detects a circular reference, it will not continue down that path. 1v a rg e n e r a t e d M a p=c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . A u t o M a p < M y C l a s s > ( ) ;

Buffer Size
The size of the internal buffer that is used when reader or writing data to and from the TextReader and TextWriter. Depending on where your TextReader or TextWriter came from, you may want to make this value larger or smaller. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . B u f f e r S i z e=2 0 4 8 ;

Comment
The value used to denote a line that is commented out. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . C o m m e n t=' # ' ;

Count Bytes
A flag that will tell the parser to keep a count of all the bytes that have been read. You need to set Configuration.Encoding to the same encoding of the CSV file for this to work properly. This will also slow down parsing of the file. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . C o u n t B y t e s=f a l s e ;

Culture Info
The culture info used to read and write. This can be overridden per property in the mapping configuration. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . C u l t u r e I n f o=C u l t u r e I n f o . C u r r e n t C u l t u r e ;

Delimiter
The value used to separate the fields in a CSV row. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . D e l i m i t e r=" , " ;

Detect Column Count Changes

This flag will check for changes in the number of column from row to row. If true and a change is detected, a CsvBadDataException will be thrown. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . D e t e c t C o l u m n C o u n t C h a n g e s=f a l s e ;

Encoding
The encoding of the CSV file. This is only used when counting bytes. The underlying TextReader and TextWriter will have it's own encoding that is used. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . E n c o d i n g=E n c o d i n g . U T F 8 ;

Has Header Record

This flag tells the reader/writer if there is a header row in the CSV file. The must be true for mapping properties by name to work (and there must be a header row). 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . H a s H e a d e r R e c o r d=t r u e ;

Ignore Header White Space

This flag tells the reader to ignore white space in the headers when matching the columns to the properties by name.

1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . I g n o r e H e a d e r W h i t e S p a c e=f a l s e ;

Ignore Private Accessor

A flag that tells the reader and writer to ignore private accessors when reading and writing. By default you can't read from a private getter or write to a private setter. Turn this on will allow that. Properties that can't be read from or written to are silently ignored. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . I g n o r e P r i v a t e A c c e s s o r=f a l s e ;

Ignore Reading Exceptions

A flag that tells the reader to swallow any exceptions that occur while reading and to continue on. Exceptions that occur in the parser will not be ignored. Parser exceptions mean the file is bad in some way, and the parser isn't able to recover. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . I g n o r e R e a d i n g E x c e p t i o n s=f a l s e ;

Ignore Quotes
A flag that tells the parser to ignore quotes as an escape character and treat it like any other character. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . I g n o r e Q u o t e s=f a l s e ;

Is Header Case Sensitive

This flag sets whether matching CSV header names will be case sensitive. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . I s H e a d e r C a s e S e n s i t i v e=t r u e ;

Maps
You are able to access the registered class maps. 1v a rm y M a p=c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . M a p s [ t y p e o f (M y C l a s s) ] ;

Property Binding Flags

PropertyBindingFlags are the flags used to find the properties on the custom class. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . P r o p e r t y B i n d i n g F l a g s=B i n d i n g F l a g s . P u b l i c| B i n d i n g F l a g s . I n s t a n c e ;

Quote
The value used to escape fields that contain a delimiter, quote, or line ending.

1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . Q u o t e=' " ' ;

Quote All Fields

A flag that tells the writer whether all fields written should have quotes around them; regardless if the field contains anything that should be escaped. Both QuoteAllFields and QuoteNotFields cannot be true at the same time. Setting one to true will set the other to false. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . Q u o t e A l l F i e l d s=f a l s e ;

Quote No Fields
A flag that tell the writer whether all fields written should not have quotes around them; regardless if the field contains anything that should be escaped. Both QuoteAllFields and QuoteNotFields cannot be true at the same time. Setting one to true will set the other to false. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . Q u o t e A l l F i e l d s=f a l s e ;

Reading Exception Callback

If you have Configuration.IgnoreReaderExceptions on and you want to know that the exceptions have occurred and possibly do something with them, you can use this. 1c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . R e a d i n g E x c e p t i o n C a l l b a c k=(e x ,r o w)= > 2{ 3 / /L o gt h ee x c e p t i o na n dc u r r e n tr o wi n f o r m a t i o n . 4} ;

Register Class Map

When using fluent class mapping, you need to register class maps for them to be used. You can register multiple class maps to be used. 1c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . R e g i s t e r C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s M a p > ( ) ; 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . R e g i s t e r C l a s s M a p < A n o t h e r C l a s s M a p > ( ) ;

Skip Empty Records

A flag to let the reader know if a record should be skipped when reading if it's empty. A record is considered empty if all fields are empty. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . S k i p E m p t y R e c o r d s=f a l s e ;

Trim Fields
This flag tells the reader to trim whitespace from the beginning and ending of the field value when reading. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . T r i m F i e l d s=f a l s e ;

Trim Headers

This flag tells the reader to ignore white space from the beginning and ending of the headers when matching the columns to the properties by name. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . T r i m H e a d e r s=f a l s e ;

Unregister Class Map

You can unregister a class map if needed. 1/ /U n r e g i s t e rs i n g l em a p . 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . U n r e g i s t e r C l a s s M a p < M y C l a s s M a p > ( ) ; 3/ /U n r e g i s t e ra l lc l a s sm a p s . 4c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . U n r e g i s t e r C l a s s M a p ( ) ;

Will Throw On Missing Field

This flag indicates if an exception should be thrown if reading and an expected field is missing. This is useful if you want to know if there is an issue with the CSV file. 1/ /D e f a u l tv a l u e 2c s v . C o n f i g u r a t i o n . W i l l T h r o w O n M i s s i n g F i e l d=t r u e ;
