CSV export on multilevel content
CSV export on multilevel content
(OP)
So, this is not really a c# question but as I am going to create a CSV file or similar from c# I post this here anyway.
I have some data that end user wants in a CSV file. Each entry has a parent node data and zero or more child node data. For example, parent node might contain
Name, Id, Date
While child node might contain:
Name, ChildId
So, what I am searching for, is that if there is standard to represent multi level data in CSV. I mean, in XML I can easily create sub nodes but what is the best way to do this in CSV so I can create a script that extract this data without any confusion of what is parent and child data?
In XML this might look like:

In XML this might look like:
CODE --> XML
<Parent Name="name1"> <Child Name="ChildName1"></Child> <Child Name="ChildName2"></Child> </Parent> <Parent Name="name2"> <Child Name="ChildName1"></Child> <Child Name="ChildName2"></Child> </Parent>

RE: CSV export on multilevel content
Include a field that identifies each record type, where, for instance the parent level might be identified as 1 and the child as 2 and some other detail level type might be 3, etc.
Skip,
Just traded in my old subtlety...
for a NUANCE!
