## 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](https://docs.aspose.com/words/python-net/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](../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](../csvdataloadoptions/) instance
to a constructor of this class.
