Thanks Joe. We’ve had an old procedure for exporting datatables to csv for some time, but we’re moving to lists of strongly-typed objects so I needed a new procedure… this works great!

Hi. thanks, very good and useful code.
I did 2 changes:
1. Changed List arg type to IList
2. Converted ExportCSV to extension like:
public static void AsCSVResponse(this string csv, string filename)
{…}
Thx ext. does the same work but now I call CSV EXport like:
GetCSV(list).AsCSVResponse(filename);

and from client:
myList.ExportCSV(“myCSV”);

Hi Tal

The code in this post should work fine in a console app.
