I have csv file uploaded by UploadFile control which has no header row. When I try to read it to datatable it gives the error because the first row has same values in different columns. How to insert the header row to this file or read data from csv to datatable with predefined columns

Data in csv:
IO23968 2012 11 AB WI 100162804410W500 0 516.78 0 0 0 N 0
IO24190 2012 11 AB WI 100140604510W500 302 516.78 15617.9 0 15617 N 0
IO24107 2012 11 AB WI 100033104410W500 337 516.78 17456.3 0 17456 N 0

Control:
HtmlInputFile fileOilFile = fileOilSubmission as HtmlInputFile;

if (fileOilFile != null)
strOilFileName = fileOilFile.Value;

DataTable:
DataTable csvData = new DataTable();
csvData.Columns.Add("RoyaltyEntityID", typeof(string));
csvData.Columns.Add("ProductionYear", typeof(int));
csvData.Columns.Add("ProductionMonth", typeof(int));
csvData.Columns.Add("ProductionEntityID", typeof(string));
csvData.Columns.Add("ProductionVolume", typeof(double));
csvData.Columns.Add("SalePrice", typeof(double));
csvData.Columns.Add("GrossRoyaltyAmount", typeof(double));
csvData.Columns.Add("TruckingRate", typeof(double));
csvData.Columns.Add("TotalNetRoyalty", typeof(double));
csvData.Columns.Add("ConfidentialWell", typeof(bool));
csvData.Columns.Add("HoursProductionAmount", typeof(double));

using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(strOilFileName))
{
string s = String.Empty;
while ((s = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{ //we're just testing read speeds

foreach (var line in strOilFileName)
{
csvData.Rows.Add(line.split(',')[0]);
csvData.Rows.Add(line.split(',')[1]);
csvData.Rows.Add(line.split(',')[2]);
csvData.Rows.Add(line.split(',')[3]);
}
}
}

And Split does not work

Try this..

C#

DataRow dr = csvData.NewRow();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("/file.csv"))
{
      string line = string.Empty;
      while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
      {
            string[] strRow = line.Split(',');

            dr["RoyaltyEntityID"] = strRow[0];
            dr["ProductionYear"] = strRow[1];
            dr["ProductionMonth"] = strRow[2];
            ...
            csvData.Rows.Add(dr);
      }
}
