Via the CsvData provider .csv files can be accessed.

Configuration

In addition to the Mapping and SearchParameters configuration, which all DataProviders of the Data interface require, the CsvDataProvider can be configured via the Option element:

<CsvDataProvider DisplayName="Customer addresses">
    <Options>
      <FilePath>\\fileshare\addressdata.csv</FilePath>
      <HasHeaders>true</HasHeaders>
      <Delimiter>,</Delimiter>
    </Options>
    ...
</CsvDataProvider>

FilePath string, path to csv file
HasHeader bool, indication whether first row is a header row
If there are no headers, the columns will be numbered (0, 1, ...) (important for SearchParameters and Mapping).
Delimiter string, indication of the delimiter

Example

<CsvDataProvider DisplayName="Customer addresses">
  <Options>
    <FilePath>\\fileshare\addressdata.csv</FilePath>
    <HasHeaders>true</HasHeaders>
    <Delimiter>,</Delimiter>
  </Options>
  <SearchParameters>
    <Text Id="Firma" Label="Firmenname" />
    <Text Id="Ort" Label="Ort" />
  </SearchParameters>
  <Mapping>
    <Map Source="Firma" Target="CompanyName" />
    <Map Source="Strasse" Target="Street" />
    <Map Source="PLZ" Target="PostalCode" />
    <Map Source="Ort" Target="City" />
    <Map Source="Land" Target="Country" />
  </Mapping>
</CsvDataProvider>
