If you can read the PST data, then surely all you need to do is convert it to CSV - which is simple enough manually or you could use an existing class: C# CSV Reader and Writer[^]

If that doesn't help, then you probably need to be clearer on exactly what your problem is.

Yes, but which bit is giving you difficulty - your question says you can read the PST data, so presumably you can extract the separate fields? So what help do you need? Remember we can't see your screen, or access your HDD - we only get exactly what you tell us.

hi , i am a beginner.i want to make a dll file and link it with an exe.the dll files should have functions and exe file should call and run those functions.but i dont know how.this may help me a lot.please correct me if i am going in wrong way.i am using visual c# express 2010

Unless you have a good reason for having a DLL, it is much easier just to create an executable, in order to get used to the structure of a program and how it fits together. Once you have all your code working then you can always separate parts out into a DLL if necessary. However, remember that a DLL is only any use if it is likely to be shared by multiple applications.

Use the best guess

I'd be prepared to argue against that point! Laugh | :laugh:

I often use a single EXE and separate DLLs to hold the different assemblies of a project: DL and BL for example, or to separate logical segments to reduce any "accidental" interactions. The EXE is just the final PL as far as I am concerned, with even the user controls that make up the UI separated out into a different DLL (and assembly)

And I would agree with you. But OP is a beginner so it is probably not useful to get into DLLs until he/she has a good understanding and skill level with the basics.

It's pretty easy - or at least it is in the Pro version of VS210, I don't have the Express version. So if any of this doesn't work, let me know... Laugh | :laugh:

Open your solution, and look at the Solution Explorer pane.
Right click your solution name, and select "Add...New Project..." from the drop down list.
In the dialog, Select "Class Library" from the middle panel, and give it a sensible Name. Press OK.
Build your solution.
Now, open your EXE project in the Solution Explorer pane, and right click the "References" branch.
Select the "Add Reference..." option.
In the dialog the appears, select the "Projects" tab from the list on the left, then select your new DLL project on the right.
Press the "Add" button.

Done! You can now use classes in the DLL project in your EXE project. (You may want to add the appropriate using statement to your code files)

Looking at these messages[^], OP is either a very fast learner or just going through every language until he/she finds one that he/she can understand.

Interesting choice of project to start with "develop your own language" - they didn't give us that on day one of the first year! (They didn't even get us to write a BASIC interpretter until year 3)
