You can use the GetColumnNames method to read the header row:

Hi ,
I Have tried this it does not work , I am reading a CSV file and want to read 
the first row as a column header.

This does not work for CSV ? please can you let me know what are the other 
methods exists to read CSV headers ?

The GetColumnNames() method can be used to retrieve the list of column names in 
a worksheet.
var excel = new ExcelQueryFactory("excelFileName");
var columnNames = excel.GetColumnNames("worksheetName");

this does not work since the CSV file does not have sheets because the method 
GetColumnNames  expects the sheet name ? or have a interpreted this wrong .

also can you let me know when I am reading a CSV file and have a data column 
value as 
Col Header 
123R ( THIS DOES NOT READ) any reason for this ...

Hi  Paul ,

have used this lib to a production application and having issue with this now I 
would like your kind knowledge on this area.

first  I am trying to read a simple CSV file that has 

Header1,Header2,Header3

value1,value2,1234

value1,value2,1234TEST

value1,value2,TEST1234

I have noticed that it cant read the column when it have mixed with alpha and 
numeric is this the case if not please can you point me in the correct 
direction.

Thanks ,

Ro
