CsvDataSource class

Provides access to data of a CSV file or stream to be used within a report. To learn more, visit the LINQ Reporting Engine documentation article.

Remarks

To access data of the corresponding file or stream while generating a report, pass an instance of this class as a data source to one of ReportingEngine.BuildReport overloads.

Data types of comma-separated values are determined automatically upon their string representations. So in template documents, you can work with typed values rather than just strings. The engine is capable to automatically recognize values of the following types:

int
bool
datetime.datetime
string

Note that for automatic recognition of data types to work, string representations of comma-separated values should be formed using invariant culture settings.

To override default behavior of CSV data loading, initialize and pass a CsvDataLoadOptions instance to a constructor of this class.
