Question

I export the datagridview records in csv file using code :

using (StreamWriter myFile = new StreamWriter(filename, false, Encoding.Default))
{
        string sHeaders = "";
        for (int j = 0; j < dGV.Columns.Count; j++)
        {
             if (dGV.Columns[j].Visible)
             {
                 sHeaders = sHeaders.ToString() + dGV.Columns[j].HeaderText + ", "; 
             }
        }
        myFile.WriteLine(sHeaders);
        // Export data.  
        for (int i = 0; i < dGV.RowCount; i++)
        {
             string stLine = "";
             for (int j = 0; j < dGV.Rows[i].Cells.Count; j++)
             {
                 if (dGV.Columns[j].Visible)
                 {
                     stLine = stLine.ToString() + dGV.Rows[i].Cells[j].Value.ToString() + ", ";
                 }
             }
                        myFile.WriteLine(stLine);
        }
     }
  }

But problem is if the value in the datagridviewcell is Harikrishna,Daxini then it will not exported properly,because there is comma in the cell value, but I have a need of including comma in the value.And it should export properly.How can I do that ? I tried with enclosing that value by double quotes and single quotes but it does not work.

Answer 1

Spaces between seperating commas and an opening double quote can cause issues with CSV. Replace code like "val1", "val2" in your csv file with "val1","val2". That should fix your issue.
