I am using File Helpers 2.9.9 and I am wondering how do I get it skip over bad records instead of it just crashing?

object[] transactions = engine.ReadStream(textReader); // will crash if one record fails.

I am also having trouble with the DateTime.I can’t see why it can’t convert “12/22/2011” using the formats I have set.

Error Converting '"12/22/2011"' to type: 'DateTime'.  does not match any of the given formats: 'MM/dd/yyyy', 'MM/d/yyyy', 'M/d/yyyy'
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    1) [EDIT] – I was wrong, you can set engine.ErrorManager.ErrorMode to SaveAndContinue – see the examples @ http://www.filehelpers.com/example_errorhandling.html

    2) based on the single quotes containing a string with double-quotes, I would say the problem is that you need to provide the FieldQuoted attribute – see http://www.filehelpers.com/attributes.html
