CSV formatter to create cases in dynamics crm

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by NK Bhairi 244

Hi All,

I am using a console app to create cases from csv flat file.

i am using the , delimiter to separate field values.

But my issue is I am receiving data like,

string[] val=data1,"data,2",date;

So, it is getting separated as :     val[] is data1,data,2,date

but it should be data1,data2,date.

any suggestions?

    I don't know if there are any .Net classes that could help with this, though you may be able to find one. Another option could be to use tools that are designed to import csv files - e.g. SQL Management Studio or Excel to import the data, then export in a format that's easier for you

    Hi

    You could use the CSV helper to map to C# objects, i found this very useful in scenarios like mentioned you above

    Another option is to use an OLEDB connection to the CSV file. I frequently do this and it works well. The .NET library returns a list of rows with indexers for all the columns in the CSV file

    This is some sample code which results in the dTable object's Rows property containing the rows in the CSV

    var folderContainingCsv = @"C:\ExampleFolderName";
var csvFileName = "ExampleCsv.csv";
var connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
           + "Data Source=\"" + folderContainingCsv + "\\\";"
           + "Extended Properties=\"text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited\"";
var sql = "select * from [" + csvFileName + "]";

var dTable = new DataTable();
using (var dAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(sql, connectionString))
{
    dAdapter.Fill(dTable);
}
