bool success = false;

//  This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
//  that contains this content:
//  
//  year,color,country,food
//  2001,red,France,cheese
//  2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

Chilkat.Csv csv = new Chilkat.Csv();

//  Indicate that the 1st row
//  should be treated as column names:
csv.HasColumnNames = true;

success = csv.SetColumnName(0,"year");
success = csv.SetColumnName(1,"color");
success = csv.SetColumnName(2,"country");
success = csv.SetColumnName(3,"food");

success = csv.SetCell(0,0,"2001");
success = csv.SetCell(0,1,"red");
success = csv.SetCell(0,2,"France");
success = csv.SetCell(0,3,"cheese");

success = csv.SetCell(1,0,"2005");
success = csv.SetCell(1,1,"blue");
success = csv.SetCell(1,2,"United States");
success = csv.SetCell(1,3,"hamburger");

//  Write the CSV to a string and display:
string csvDoc;
csvDoc = csv.SaveToString();
Debug.WriteLine(csvDoc);

//  Save the CSV to a file:
success = csv.SaveFile("out.csv");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(csv.LastErrorText);
