Parsing CSV files in C#, with header

Let a library handle all the nitty-gritty details for you! 🙂

Check out FileHelpers and stay DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself – no need to re-invent the wheel a gazillionth time….

You basically just need to define that shape of your data – the fields in your individual line in the CSV – by means of a public class (and so well-thought out attributes like default values, replacements for NULL values and so forth), point the FileHelpers engine at a file, and bingo – you get back all the entries from that file. One simple operation – great performance!
