asp.net mvc 3 - Export C# List to Csv file

Question

I was trying to export my C# list to Csv file. All is set well. But the thing is field seperator is not working properly. its showing like, my string with " at the end (eg: 0000324df"). Here is my Controller code.

IEnumerable stockexpo = stockexp; // Assign value
        MemoryStream output = new MemoryStream();
        StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(output, Encoding.UTF8);
        writer.Write("ItemNo,");
        writer.Write("Repeat Count");
        writer.WriteLine();
        foreach (StockResult order in stockexpo)
        {
            writer.Write(String.Format("{0:d}", order.ItemNumber));
            writer.Write(""");
            writer.Write(",");
            writer.Write(""");
            writer.Write(order.Count);
            writer.Write(""");
            writer.Write(",");
            writer.WriteLine();
        }
        writer.Flush();
        output.Position = 0;

        return File(output, "text/comma-separated-values", "stockexp.csv");

I need to know how i can seperate the field values appropriately. Anyone can help me for this.

Answer 1

  writer.Write(""");

This line of code will be outputting a " every time. Why have it at all?

Also, I wouldn't have a comma before the WriteLine, since there is no need to delimit the end of the file.

IEnumerable stockexpo = stockexp; // Assign value
    MemoryStream output = new MemoryStream();
    StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(output, Encoding.UTF8);
    writer.Write("ItemNo,");
    writer.Write("Repeat Count");
    writer.WriteLine();
    foreach (StockResult order in stockexpo)
    {
        writer.Write(order.ItemNumber);
        writer.Write(",");
        writer.Write(order.Count);
        writer.WriteLine();
    }
    writer.Flush();
    output.Position = 0;

    return File(output, "text/comma-separated-values", "stockexp.csv");
