如何在 C# 中导出文件到 CSV

1.1 What is .NET Framework?

Microsoft created the proprietary .NET Framework, a software framework that is mostly compatible with Microsoft Windows. It served as the main Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) implementation until the cross-platform .NET project took its place. It offers language compatibility across several different programming languages and comes with a sizable class library called the Framework Class Library (FCL).

1.2 What is CSV?

A text file format called "comma-separated values" divides values into separate columns using commas. Tabular data is stored in plain text in a CSV format file, where each line typically corresponds to a single data record. In the CSV file, each record has the same number of fields, which are separated by commas.

2.0 IronXL Library Features

Microsoft Excel documents can be read and converted to CSV files using the IronXL for .NET C# Excel library. Without installing Microsoft Office or Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, users can utilize IronXL, a stand-alone .NET software library. It is capable of reading several spreadsheet formats.

3.0 Creating a New Project in Visual Studio

Open Visual Studio and create a .NET project before using the IronXL library. Visual Studio can be used in any version, though the most recent version is recommended. To keep things simple, this article will be using the Console Application for this example.

Open Visual Studio, go to "File" menu and select "New Project". From the various .NET project templates choose the "Console App".

Enter the project's location and name after that.

Create a new project in Visual Studio

The Framework drop-down menu can be used to choose a .NET Framework. .NET Framework 4.7 is selected for this project. Next, click on the Create button.

The program.cs file will open when the application generates the solution, allowing you to enter the code and build/run the program.

The Program.cs file will open once the Console Application project is successfully created.

To test the code, the next step is to add the IronXL library.

Install the IronXL library, since it is required for the next fix. To do this, enter the following command into the NuGet Package Manager Console:

Install-Package IronXL -Version 2023.8.29

Install the IronXL package in the NuGet Package Manager Console

Another option is to use the NuGet Package Manager to look for the package "IronXL", then choose the necessary package to download from this list of all the NuGet packages connected to IronXL.
