Write Fixed File

Example of how to write a Fixed Record File

To write a fixed length file like this:

Output.txt

1Antonio Moreno Taquería       01052009
2Berglunds snabbköp            02052009

RecordClass.cs

[FixedLengthRecord()]
public class Customer
{
    [FieldFixedLength(5)]
    public int CustId;

    [FieldFixedLength(30)]
    [FieldTrim(TrimMode.Both)]
    public string Name;

    [FieldFixedLength(8)]
    [FieldConverter(ConverterKind.Date, "ddMMyyyy")]
    public DateTime AddedDate;
}

Now just create some records and write them with the Engine

Example.cs

var engine = new FileHelperEngine<Customer>();

var customers = new List<Customer>();

var order1 = new Customer() {
    CustId = 1,
    Name = "Antonio Moreno Taquería",
    AddedDate = new DateTime(2009, 05, 01)
};
var order2 = new Customer() {
    CustId = 2,
    Name = "Berglunds snabbköp",
    AddedDate = new DateTime(2009, 05, 02)
};

customers.Add(order1);
customers.Add(order2);

engine.WriteFile("Output.Txt", customers);

Console

1Antonio Moreno Taquería       01052009
