Perform CSV to XML Conversion in C#

Dozens of unique data conversions are made easy with the Cloudmersive Convert API. Take advantage of ready-to-run code (below) from the Cloudmersive API Console to easily convert a CSV file to an XML file in C#.

First, let’s install the .NET SDK using the below command:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 3.4.2
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;

If you’re using .NET Core, use this command instead:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert -Version 2.2.1
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Api;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Client;
using Cloudmersive.APIClient.NETCore.DocumentAndDataConvert.Model;

Then, copy the remaining code & supply your Cloudmersive API Key where indicated. To get a key, you can make a free (zero commitment) account on the Cloudmersive website, which will enable 800 API calls per month.

namespace Example
{
    public class ConvertDataCsvToXmlExample
    {
        public void main()
        {
            // Configure API key authorization: Apikey
            Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
var apiInstance = new ConvertDataApi();
            var inputFile = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\\temp\\inputfile", System.IO.FileMode.Open); // System.IO.Stream | Input file to perform the operation on.
            var columnNamesFromFirstRow = true;  // bool? | Optional; If true, the first row will be used as the labels for the columns; if false, columns will be named Column0, Column1, etc.  Default is true.  Set to false if you are not using column headings, or have an irregular column structure. (optional)
try
            {
                // Convert CSV to XML conversion
                byte[] result = apiInstance.ConvertDataCsvToXml(inputFile, columnNamesFromFirstRow);
                Debug.WriteLine(result);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Debug.Print("Exception when calling ConvertDataApi.ConvertDataCsvToXml: " + e.Message );
            }
        }
    }
}
