A Csv tool used for converting csv file or stream to datatable/object(IEnumerable), support csv with or without header, support multiple encodings for international languages, do not support type with complex type property.

Features

  • ✅ Forward and reverse reading of CSV files
  • ✅ Convert to DataTable or IEnumerable<T>
  • ✅ Support for files with or without headers
  • ✅ Multiple encoding support (UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.) for international languages
  • ✅ Custom delimiter and escape character support
  • ✅ Stream and file path input
  • ✅ Optimized for large files
  • ✅ .NET Framework 4.7+ and .NET 5-9 support

Installation

Install-Package CsvTo

How to use

Non-generic converter (returns values as string)

Forward read
var converter = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file);
     
DataTable dt = converter.ToDataTable();
       
IEnumerable<string[]> c = converter.ToCollection();
Reverse read
var r_converter = new CsvTo.CsvReverseConverter(file);

DataTable r_dt = r_converter.ToDataTable();

IEnumerable<string[]> r_c = r_converter.ToCollection();

Generic converter (returns DataTable with typed columns / IEnumerable<Type>)

Forward read
var  g_converter_1 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter<Test1>(file1);

DataTable g_dt = g_converter_1.ToDataTable();

IEnumerable<Test1> g_c = g_converter_1.ToCollection();
Reverse read
var  g_r_converter_1 = new CsvTo.CsvReverseConverter<Test1>(file1);
 
DataTable g_r_dt = g_r_converter_1.ToDataTable();

IEnumerable<Test1> g_r_c = g_r_converter_1.ToCollection();

Encoding Support (New in v3.0)

Support for multiple encodings including international languages:

// Chinese CSV with UTF-8 encoding
var converter = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);

// Japanese CSV  
var converter2 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(japaneseFile, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);

// Custom encoding
var converter3 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file, encoding: Encoding.GetEncoding("GB2312"));

// Default encoding is UTF-8
var converter4 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file); // Uses UTF-8 by default

Custom Delimiter and Escape

// Semicolon delimiter
var converter = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file, delimiter: ";");

// Tab delimiter
var converter2 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file, delimiter: "\t");

// Custom escape character
var converter3 = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(file, escape: "'");

Stream Input

using (var stream = File.OpenRead(filePath))
{
    var converter = new CsvTo.CsvConverter(stream, encoding: Encoding.UTF8);
    var dt = converter.ToDataTable();
}
