CSV Splitter example in C#

Hye guys, this is a example of CSV Splitter created from C# language. Since i dont have enough time to explained each code, so i just copy the code here and feel free to ask me in the comment.

Basically this example will split huge .csv file into several file. So that you can open the csv file faster rather than open the huge one.

The Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
using System.Collections;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;

namespace CSV_Splitter
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        public delegate void UpdateProgressSub(int CurrentLine);
        private bool _IsAbort;

        public void SplitCSV(string FilePath,int lineStart, int lineEnd, int LineCount, int MaxOutputFile, UpdateProgressSub Status, ref bool IsAbort)
        {
            // Validate first
            if (LineCount < 100)
                throw new Exception("Number of lines must be more than 100.");            
            // Open the csv file for reading
            System.IO.StreamReader Reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(FilePath);

            // Create the output directory
            string OutputFolder = FilePath + "_Pieces";
            if (Directory.Exists(FilePath) == false)
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(OutputFolder);
            }

            // Read the csv column's header
            string strHeader = Reader.ReadLine();

            // Start splitting
            int FileIndex = 0;
            do
            {
                // Update progress
                FileIndex += 1;
                if ((Status != null))
                {
                    Status.Invoke((FileIndex - 1) * LineCount);
                }

                // Check if the number of splitted files doesn't exceed the limit
                if ((MaxOutputFile < FileIndex) && (MaxOutputFile > 0))
                    break; // TODO: might not be correct. Was : Exit Do

                // Create new file to store a piece of the csv file
                string PiecePath = OutputFolder + "\\" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FilePath) + "_" + FileIndex + Path.GetExtension(FilePath);
                StreamWriter Writer = new StreamWriter(PiecePath, false);
                Writer.AutoFlush = false;
                Writer.WriteLine(strHeader);
                // Read and writes precise number of rows
                for (int i = 1; i <= LineCount; i++)
                {
                    string s = Reader.ReadLine();
                    if (s != null & _IsAbort == false)
                    {
