Are you sure it's not an artifact of your download process? How did you get teh data?
The first row of a CSV file can normally be one of three things:
1) A header row giving the column titles.
2) The first row of data
Or
3) A row indicating a "custom separator": "Sep=|" for example is used by Excel: Comma-separated values - Wikipedia[^]
I've never seen a valid CSV file with anything else as the top row.

I've seen one case in 30 years where the first TWO rows were headers. Yeah, it's not what anyone would call "standard", but there it was.
The first row was column types and the second row contained the column names.

Since you're mapping by index, you could skip the first two lines in the TextReader before you pass it to the CsvReader, and tell it there is no header:
using (TextReader reader = ...)
{
reader.ReadLine();
reader.ReadLine();
using (var csv = new CsvReader(reader, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{
csv.Configuration.HasHeaderRecord = false;
csv.Configuration.RegisterClassMap<FooMap>();
var records = csv.GetRecords<Foo>()
...
}
}
...
public class Foo
{
public string SalesRecordNumber { get; set; }
public int OrderNumber { get; set; }
public string BuyerUsername { get; set; }
}
public class FooMap : ClassMap<Foo>
{
public FooMap()
{
Map(m => m.SalesRecordNumber).Index(0);
Map(m => m.OrderNumber).Index(1);
Map(m => m.BuyerUsername).Index(2);
}
}

I think I'll just write some code to dump the first line.

My guess is the line of comma's was an afterthought, and got added to "solve" some problem related to the inconsistent quote situation in the original title line; so now the title line is basically empty, and the column names appear in the first data row, which could be good enough for people reading the table on screen, not for a program trying to interpret it all.

Excel imports the first line as blank cells, then the header is on the 2nd line.
Amazon version is much nicer, and easier to work with.

So I can read the file and populate the model now. Just need to fix the number conversions, everything in the model is a string now. But I'm 3 steps closer now. Thanks for all the help!

We seem to assume the big boys always know what they're doing. If the comas line up, it simply looks like 3 stabs at a header.
1) No quotes, no data.
2) Quotes and data.
3) Quotes, no data.

Hey guys i'm trying to handle a server request by console app. I have a Listener class that implements a delegate and do some stuff when receive the request.
Now im getting calls by postman in localhost, and don't know how to implement to get server calls (idk if need other application for this like dotnet server or idk).
The calls is based in the appClientCode so i need to get only the client call can be more clients on but they din't notice about other calls.
How can i manage that? Code below.
Anyway thx.
Listener class:
<pre>using System;
using System.IO;

{
this.listener = listener;
this.handler = handler;
listener.Prefixes.Add(url);
}
public void Start()
{
if (listener.IsListening)
return;
listener.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < HandlerThread; i++)
{
listener.GetContextAsync().ContinueWith(ProcessRequestHandler);
}
}

listener.Stop();
}

var responseBytes = handler.Invoke(request);
result.Result.Response.ContentLength64 = responseBytes.Length;

Quote: I have a Listener class that implements a delegate and do some stuff when receive the request.
If this is a fresh project, I would recommend moving to a more web-development framework to write more secure, stable, and scalable apps; such as with ASP.NET Core. With ASP.NET Core, you can just specify a single Controller and let it handle your requests for you. On top of that, you get several benefits:
- Parsing of the HTTP request/response.
- Security features and authentication.
- Caching support
- Publishing/hosting support with leading cloud hosting platforms
If you really want to handle the low-level details of the HTTP protocol (which, I again suggest not to), then I think you have got it working.
Quote: Now im getting calls by postman in localhost, and don't know how to implement to get server calls (idk if need other application for this like dotnet server or idk).
Your application is already on a server; localhost. If you want to move it to something like www.yourdomain.com, then that is more about the deployment of the application. Deploy it to a hosting platform and apply your domain name to it.
Quote: The calls is based in the appClientCode so i need to get only the client call can be more clients on but they din't notice about other calls.
Although I have not checked your code by running it, but your code "should" spawn a new thread for each request and handle the requests in an isolated manner. That shouldn't be an issue.
Once again, go with ASP.NET Core, and you can write an ASP.NET Core API that provides the HTTP access to your clients and server and makes it easier to work with HTTP protocol.

Hello all,
I'm just learning to use C# Inheritance.
It is quite clear to me (I've worked with C++ in the past).
I've a problem with two classes.
So, imagine a base class, which contain a sub-class; the sub-class is used to collect data.
I used a sub-class because I need to write and read it from a disk, using a XmlSerializer.
The base class has the needed public Save/Load members, that serialize the sub-class.
I now have to Inherit the base class multiple times; the only differnece in the derived classes is the sub-class, that have a slightly different format for each derived class.
I created few derived classes, re-definind into them the sub-class wth the keyboard "new".
Unfortunately, everytime I call the Save/Load members (defined in the base class) from the derived classes, these methods actually save ansd load the sub-class defined into the base class, not the one defined into the calling derived class.
What I'm doing wrong?
Here below an excerpt of my code, with the definition of the two classes (heavily simplified, of course):
public class BaseClass
{
public class Data
{
public int data1 = 1;
public int data2 = 1;
public string Data3 = "BaseString";
}
public Data data = new Data();
public bool Save(string Filename)
{
var xs = new XmlSerializer(Data.GetType());
using (TextWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Filename))
{
xs.Serialize(sw, Obj);
}
return File.Exists(Filename);
}
public static T Load<T>(Filename)
{
Object rslt;
var xs = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
using (var sr = new StreamReader(FileName))
{
rslt = (T)xs.Deserialize(sr);
}
return (T)rslt;
}
}
public DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public new class Data
{
public int data1 = 2;
public int data2 = 2;
public string Data3 = "DerivedString";
public int Data4 = 2;
}
public new Data data = new Data();
}
Now, using them as follows gives me the error that the base class Data are saved:
DerivedClass MyClass = new DerivedClass();
MyClass.Save("Test.xml");
Any clue?
I know this is probably quite trivial, but please help me.
Thank you in advance.
Ciao,
Giovanni

Members declared with new will not be visible to the base class. When code in the base class looks for the Data member, it will use its own member, not the "shadowed" member declared by the derived class.
Members which are meant to be overridden in a derived class must be marked as virtual, and overridden properly in the derived class.
Knowing When to Use Override and New Keywords - C# Programming Guide | Microsoft Docs[^]
However, a nested class cannot be marked as "virtual". Instead, you will need to inherit from it. You will also need to use a constructor to overwrite the default field values.
public class BaseClass
{
public class Data
{
public int data1 = 1;
public int data2 = 1;
public string data3 = "BaseString";
}
public Data Value { get; }
public BaseClass()
{
Value = new Data();
}
}
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public class DerivedData : BaseClass.Data
{
public int data4 = 2;
public DerivedData()
{
data1 = 2;
data2 = 2;
data3 = "DerivedString";
}
}
public DerivedClass()
{
Value = new DerivedData();
}
}

Hllo,
Thank you very much for the answer, Richard.
Now everything is clear, and sound logic.
I will modify my code as for you suggestions.
Regards,
Giovanni

See if Richard's excellent response, and this code ... gives you some ideas:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace TextToClasses
{
public class BaseClass
{
public class Data
{
public int Data1;
public int Data2;
public string Data3;
public Data()
{
}
public Data(int data1, int data2, string data3)
{
Data1 = data1;
Data2 = data2;
Data3 = data3;
}
}
public Data TheData;
public bool Save(string Filename, Data data)
{
var xs = new XmlSerializer(data.GetType());
using (TextWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Filename))
{
xs.Serialize(sw, data);
}
return File.Exists(Filename);
}
public Data Load(string Filename, Type type)
{
Data rslt;
var xs = new XmlSerializer(type);
using (var sr = new StreamReader(Filename))
{
rslt = (Data) xs.Deserialize(sr);
}
return rslt;
}
}
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public class DerivedData : BaseClass.Data
{
public int Data4;
public DerivedData()
{
}
public DerivedData(int data4, int data1, int data2, string data3) : base(data1, data2, data3)
{
Data4 = data4;
}
}
}
}Sample usage:
BaseClass bc = new BaseClass();
bc.TheData = new BaseClass.Data(1,1,"BaseString");
bc.Save(@"C:\Users\test_user\Desktop\Basedata.xml", bc.TheData);
var bcdata = bc.Load(@"C:\Users\test_user\Desktop\Basedata.xml", bc.TheData.GetType());
DerivedClass dc = new DerivedClass();
dc.TheData = new DerivedClass.DerivedData(4, 2, 2, "DerivedString");
dc.Save(@"C:\Users\test_user\Desktop\Deriveddata.xml", dc.TheData);
var dcdata = dc.Load(@"C:\Users\test_user\Desktop\Deriveddata.xml", dc.TheData.GetType());
I am sure this can be improved

This is the scenario & I was able to make 1/2 of it work: Programmatically launch Outlook 365, send an message & quit Outlook; it must exit. The quitting is the problematic part-- it likes to keep running so I'm thinking I'm not releasing the resources fully forcing it to keep running.
Tons of samples to launch & send a simple message & this is not about that. Outlook 365 has to quit.
This works (simplified for this post though & should be accurate enough): Outlook launches, sends, quits---
using ol = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
void Send(string Subject, string EmailBody, string BCC)
{
ol.Application olOutlook = null;
ol.MailItem olMsg = null;
olOutlook = new ol.Application();
olMsg = ( ol.MailItem )olOutlook.CreateItem( ol.OlItemType.olMailItem );
olMsg.BodyFormat = ol.OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
olMsg.HTMLBody = EmailBody;
olMsg.Subject = Subject;
olMsg.Importance = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceNormal;
olMsg.BCC = BCC;
olMsg.Send();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olMsg );
olMsg = null;
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook.Session );
olOutlook.Quit();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook.Application );
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook );
olOutlook = null;
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
Question part 1: Outlook does not quit whenever the EventHandler is subscribed to so the reminders window is suppressed. I'm adding & immediately removing the EventHandler because that's what I've narrowed it down to as the issue for not closing for me. Commenting out the 2 event lines is what's above btw.
using ol = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
void Send(string Subject, string EmailBody, string BCC)
{
ol.Application olOutlook = null;
olOutlook.Reminders.BeforeReminderShow += Reminders_BeforeReminderShow;
olOutlook.Reminders.BeforeReminderShow -= Reminders_BeforeReminderShow;
ol.MailItem olMsg = null;
olOutlook = new ol.Application();
olMsg = ( ol.MailItem )olOutlook.CreateItem( ol.OlItemType.olMailItem );
olMsg.BodyFormat = ol.OlBodyFormat.olFormatHTML;
olMsg.HTMLBody = EmailBody;
olMsg.Subject = Subject;
olMsg.Importance = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlImportance.olImportanceNormal;
olMsg.BCC = BCC;
olMsg.Send();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olMsg );
olMsg = null;
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook.Session );
olOutlook.Quit();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook.Application );
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.FinalReleaseComObject( olOutlook );
olOutlook = null;
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
GC.Collect();
The EventHandler:
private void Reminders_BeforeReminderShow(ref bool Cancel)
{
Cancel = true;
}
Part 2 of this question is where I am right now: Once I add an attachment & send the message, Outlook again does not quit.
What am I missing with releasing these resources? Why is adding & then removing this EventHandler causing issues with quitting Outlook? This is tricky because there are a gazillion "how to send mail" posts but much fewer "how to send mail & quit Outlook" posts.
Also, anything related to killing a task is not being considered because that's a dirty shutdown & will only cause deeper issues with mailboxes etc. over time, so don't post it as a solution.
Thank you

Are you trying to use this is a service or web app (ASP.NET, MVC, ...)?

I would be surprised if this has anything to do with your code and resources, I suspect MS have organised Outlook to stay awake despite your .Quit - is there a .Exit?
I often find outlook remains running in the background after closing the app (not using code). So much so that I have to end the task to restart outlook.

Hi, I apologize if a solution for something like this has been posted somewhere in the forums already. I've looked.
I have a large string which will include text such as:
"..just random text 5:43 and more random text 9:25..and even more random text 3:00.."
I'd like to be able to store these times in an array or even just get each as an individual string. I've thought about searching the text for colons and just getting the two characters before and after each. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Richard. I was able to put a regular expression together which was rather long and ugly but did exactly what I needed. Much appreciated.
|
|
|
|
|
Why is it long? A Regex to extract the times is pretty trivial:
[012]?\d:\d\d would work,or even
\d:\d\d if the time is midnight - ten AM (less one second)
For real accuracy it should be
[012]?\d:[0-5]\d to prevent 15:67 being accepted, but ...
