Before I continue i would like first to show you the running example to give you a quick overview. [ C# Sample...

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we have used column mappings and index mapping to generate our csv files. These approach requires us to loop thru each colum to create the header, the loop thru again to create the rows. The problem with this approach is the amount of time spent in coding such procedures...

In Part 1 of this series i have showed to you how to use a IDataReader in creating a function that would generate a CSV file. In part 2 of this series I'm going to show you how to accomplish the same task but this time using a different object. We will still implement the same concept that we used in...

Part 1 shows us how to create CSV files in both C# and VB.NET using techniques that were used back on the old days of ADO and OLEDB but implementing them using native ADO.NET objects(IDataReader) instead of recordsets. We use a IDataReader instead of a provider specific reader (SqlDataReader, OleDbDataReader...

*NOTE: the source code for this projerct in C# and in VB.NET can be found at the end of this post. I have also posted this example in codeproject "File system browsing? What the heck is that?" "Old way? New way? is there another way???" I guess most of us are still on the pre-.NET mindset, a term i commonly...
