C#: CSVHelper - CsvConfiguration Not Found
Date: 2021-10-30 | csharp | csv | csvhelper |
Problem
I'm using CSVHelper to read in CSVs for my C# projects. I'm trying to use the CsvConfiguration object to configure my reads, but I'm getting errors with:
The type or namespace name 'CsvConfiguration' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Solution
In order to use CSVHelper, you have to create a using
statement on the top of your files in which you reference it. To get the base library, you can add to the top of your files:
using CsvHelper;
However, other configuration options like CsvConfiguration
do not live in that namespace. They live in another namespace which you can add to your file by adding:
using CsvHelper.Configuration;
