#8. What is the purpose of the [STA Thread] attribute for the Main method of a C# program?
C#程序的主函数写[STA Thread]属性的目的是什么？
That marks the thread as being Single Thread Apartment which means any multiple threaded calls need to be marshaled over to that thread before they are called. That's there because Windows Forms uses some OLE calls(Clipboard for example), which must be made from the thread that initialized OLE.
多线程调用（单线程套间）单线程前都需要编组排列。因为Windows窗体使用了一些OLE调用（例如剪贴板），调用之前必须先初始化OLE。
单线程套间，简单来说所有对于单线程套间中对象的访问都是通过消息来传递的，所以同一时间只有一个线程能够访问单线程套间中的对象。

Introduction
Nowadays it is common in applications to have the functionality of reading the CSV data. My current project needed one. Even after searching for long, I could not get one which could satisfy my requirements. But after doing considerable amount of study, I came up with the following tool. CSV files stand for Comma Separated Value files. They are common text files with comma delimited values. Though the default delimiter is comma (,), we can specify other characters as delimiters like the semi-colon (;), colon (:), asterisk (*). But you cannot specify double quotes (") as a delimiter. I have used Microsoft Text Drivers for reading the CSV data. You have to use ODBC connection for accessing the CSV data. You can either create a DSN or use the connection string. If you create a DSN, the schema.ini file gets created automatically in the folder where all your CSV files reside. But if you use connection string, you have to create schema.ini file on your own. We are going to see the latter approach.
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
When the Text driver is used, the format of the text file is determined by using a schema information file. The schema information file, which is always named schema.ini and always kept in the same directory as the text data source, provides the IISAM with information about the general format of the file, the column name and data type information, and a number of other data characteristics.
Using the demo application
For successfully running the application you need Test.csv file and a database with a table having three columns. But all this is provided in the demo application. So you need not worry. Follow these steps to run the demo application:
1. First run DBI.exe application.
2. The screen shown below will appear.
3. Fill the required details and click the button "Install".
4. Make sure that a folder named "Test" is created in "D:" drive with the Test.csv file in it.
5. Now run our main application i.e. FinalCSVReader.exe.
6. Keep the default folder and file path as it is.
7. First click "Import CSV data" to import the CSV data.
8. Now click "Save", to save the data in the database.

Using the source code
Some important parts of the code are discussed below
Create schema.ini
This is a function writeSchema(). It creates the schema.ini file dynamically.
Code:
/*Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
When the Text driver is used, the format of the
text file is determined by using a schema information
file. The schema information file, which is always named
Schema.ini and always kept in the same directory as the
text data source, provides the IISAM with information
about the general format of the file, the column name
and data type information, and a number of other data
characteristics*/
private void writeSchema()
{
try
{
FileStream fsOutput =
new FileStream (txtCSVFolderPath.Text+"\\schema.ini",
FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter srOutput = new StreamWriter (fsOutput);
string s1, s2, s3,s4,s5;
s1="["+strCSVFile+"]";
s2="ColNameHeader="+bolColName.ToString ();
s3="Format="+strFormat;
s4="MaxScanRows=25";
s5="CharacterSet=OEM";
srOutput.WriteLine(s1.ToString()+'\n'+s2.ToString()+
'\n'+s3.ToString()+'\n'+
s4.ToString()+'\n'+s5.ToString());
srOutput.Close ();
fsOutput.Close ();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
}
Function for importing the CSV Data
This function ConnectCSV (string filetable) takes the .csv file name as argument and returns the dataset containing the imported data.
Code:
public DataSet ConnectCSV (string filetable)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet ();
try
{
/* You can get connected to driver either by using
DSN or connection string. Create a connection string
as below, if you want to use DSN less connection.
The DBQ attribute sets the path of directory which
contains CSV files*/
string strConnString=
"Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt;*.csv)};
Dbq="+txtCSVFolderPath.Text.Trim()+";
Extensions=asc,csv,tab,txt;
Persist Security Info=False";
string sql_select;
System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection conn;
//Create connection to CSV file
conn = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection(
strConnString.Trim ());
// For creating a connection using DSN, use following line
//conn = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection(DSN="MyDSN");
//Open the connection
conn.Open ();
//Fetch records from CSV
sql_select="select * from ["+ filetable +"]";
obj_oledb_da=new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter(
sql_select,conn);
//Fill dataset with the records from CSV file
obj_oledb_da.Fill(ds,"Stocks");
//Set the datagrid properties
dGridCSVdata.DataSource=ds;
dGridCSVdata.DataMember="Stocks";
//Close Connection to CSV file
conn.Close ();
}
catch (Exception e) //Error
{
MessageBox.Show (e.Message);
}
return ds;
}
Code for inserting the data
This is a code written in the button's click event btnUpload_Click. This actually inserts the data in the database.
Code:
private void btnUpload_Click(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Create an SQL Connection
// You can use actual connection
// string instead of ReadConFile()
SqlConnection con1=
new SqlConnection(ReadConFile().Trim());
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand();
// Create Dataset
DataSet da = new DataSet();
/* To actually fill the dataset,
Call the function ImportCSV and assign
the returned dataset to new dataset as below */
da=this.ConnectCSV(strCSVFile);
/* Now we will collect data from data table
and insert it into database one by one.
Initially there will be no data in database
so we will insert data in first two columns
and after that we will update data in same row
for remaining columns. The logic is simple.
'i' represents rows while 'j' represents columns*/
cmd.Connection=con1;
cmd.CommandType=CommandType.Text;
cmd1.Connection=con1;
cmd1.CommandType=CommandType.Text;
con1.Open();
for(int i=0;i<=da.Tables["Stocks"].Rows.Count-1;i++)
{
for(int j=1;j<=da.Tables["Stocks"].Columns.Count-1;j++)
{
cmd.CommandText=
"Insert into Test(srno,
"+da.Tables["Stocks"].Columns[0].ColumnName.Trim()+")
values("+(i+1)+",
'"+da.Tables["Stocks"].Rows[i].ItemArray.GetValue(0)+"')";
/* For UPDATE statement, in where clause you
need some unique row identifier. We are using
‘srno’ in WHERE clause. */
cmd1.CommandText=
"Update Test set "
+da.Tables["Stocks"].Columns[j].ColumnName.Trim()+"
= '"+da.Tables["Stocks"].Rows[i].ItemArray.GetValue(j)+
"' where srno ="+(i+1);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
con1.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
btnUpload.Enabled=false;
}
}

There is direct method in .NET for computing the file size but there is no such method for computing directory size and logical drive size.One may think of just adding file size to get directory size and then drive size. But this method has some drawbacks. But we can use Win32 API function GetDiskFreeSpaceEx for this purpose.
The GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function retrieves information about the amount of space that is available on a disk volume, which is the total amount of space, the total amount of free space, and the total amount of free space available to the user that is associated with the calling thread. You can do it as following: Enlist the drives:
Code:
string[] tempString = Directory.GetLogicalDrives();
foreach(string tempDrive in tempString)
{
cmbDrives.Items.Add(tempDrive);
}
cmbDrives.SelectedIndex=0;
public sealed class DriveInfo
{
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="GetDiskFreeSpaceExA")]
private static extern long GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(string lpDirectoryName,
out long lpFreeBytesAvailableToCaller,
out long lpTotalNumberOfBytes,
out long lpTotalNumberOfFreeBytes);
public static long GetInfo(string drive, out long available, out long total, out long free)
{
return GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(drive,out available,out total,out free);
}
public static DriveInfoSystem GetInfo(string drive)
{
long result, available, total, free;
result = GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(drive, out available, out total, out free);
return new DriveInfoSystem(drive,result,available,total,free);
}
}
public struct DriveInfoSystem
{
public readonly string Drive;
public readonly long Result;
public readonly long Available;
public readonly long Total;
public readonly long Free;
public DriveInfoSystem(string drive, long result, long available, long total, long free)
{
this.Drive = drive;
this.Result = result;
this.Available = available;
this.Total = total;
this.Free = free;
}
}
and then you can use it as ：
然后你也可以使用下面这种方法：
DriveInfoSystem info = DriveInfo.GetInfo("c:");
