Csvhelper: 'No header record was found.'

[dsotiriades]

First, let me thank all the contributors to CSVhelper for producing such a useful and well thought out package. However, I am having the following problem:

When I updated to the latest version (v4.0.2) I was unable to read the header record for the CSV files that I was working with, even though this worked well in the previous version.

Below is a test example of the code snippet that I am using to read the header.

using (var FlReader = File.OpenText(@"E:Developement\CSV\CSVtestXLS.csv"))
{
CsvReader csv = new CsvReader(FlReader);
csv.Configuration.HasHeaderRecord = true;

                csv.ReadHeader();
                var myCsv = csv.Context.HeaderRecord;



                }
                csv.Dispose();

You need to call Read() first. See ReadHeader here https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/reading#reading-records
