Hi ,
can anyone help me out to create the object of CSVReader()
i want to use Filename as a string at time of object creation
the below code is working fine :
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader(FileUpload1.PostedFile.InputStream);
and i want to use string as an argument like :
CSVReader reader = new CSVReader( "filename");

CSVReaderis not a class in the .NET framework as far as I can tell so it depends -- did you write this class or do you have access to the source code? If not then it is a sealed class or can you derive another class from it? …

Please post the entire class. I need to see how the class is implemented to know what to change.
CSVReader is not a class in the .NET framework as far as I can tell so it depends -- did you write this class or do you have access to the source code? If not then it is a sealed class or can you derive another class from it? All you really need to here is read the file in to a byte array and then continue parsing. You could also encapsulte the CSVReader.
Thnx for reply,
here is the two constructor of the class
public CSVReader(Stream filestream) : this(filestream, null) { }
public CSVReader(Stream filestream, Encoding enc)
{
this.objStream = filestream;
//check the Pass Stream whether it is readable or not
if (!filestream.CanRead)
{
return;
}
objReader = (enc != null) ? new StreamReader(filestream, enc) : new StreamReader(filestream);
}
can u help me how can i convert the string or file name in to stream type
can i write the another constructor which can accept the file name as string argument !

Here is the class actually it will take the file name from the file upload control but i want to process the file without file upload control
