// 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;

bool 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);
