I don't usually comment on posts because I'm a bit of a lazy bugger. However, after weeks of searching something nice and simple from a list (not a nasty gridview), I found this and it's perfect.

Thank you Emad.

CSV files allow for values with embedded comments if you wrap them in double quotes instead of stripping out commas as your code does.

I write a couple of simple classes for both reading and writing CSV files at http://www.blackbeltcoder.com/Articles/files/reading-and-writing-csv-files-in-c. Some of your readers may want to see those routines as well.

I would have replaced the AddComma method with an AddQuotes method which would do something like this:

public string AddQuotes(string input)
{
return "\"" + input.Remove("\"") + "\"";
}

This would allow you to have commas in your datafields (although it would remove doublequotes from the data, so I guess it's a trade-off).

Hi Mojahid,

I appreciate your comment however I strongly believe it is not a good practice. let me give you an example if in a case you need to change the code you have to maintain that code in so many places however now there is a method that you change it. Please search for Coupling and Cohision in programming and you will see what I mean.

You could have used double quoted comma delimited string format.

There is no need to call AddComma for each method, you could have just used

String.Format("\"{0}\",\"{1}\",\"{2}\"\n", employee.FirstName, employee.LastName, employee.Age)

How would the code look like, if you had to query the data out of a table? It would be nice to have an example using Linq.

Thank you!

Hi Emad,

this is great coding, and we've actually done the exactly same thing in vbscript for the company i work for and i was always thinking how it would look like doing it in C#. now i know :).
