SAIF.Services.Export overview

Documentation context: Frontend-referenced component Documented via: Legal front-end web application (Legal.vbproj)

SAIF.Services.Export is a small, stateless .NET Framework 4.6.2 class library that provides a single generic utility for converting an in-memory collection of objects into delimited (CSV-style) text, for consumption by the Legal front-end web application.*

Purpose

• Converts any IEnumerable(Of T) collection into a delimited text string (CSV by default), using reflection to enumerate the public properties of T for both the header row and each data row.
• Consumed directly by the Legal web application as a utility service for CSV/data-export functionality.*

Responsibilities

• Format arbitrary, reflection-discovered object collections as delimited text with configurable delimiter and quoting behavior.
• Remain generic and entity-agnostic — it has no knowledge of specific business entities, business rules, or database structures.

Key components

• ExportServices: sole public class in the library; owns the entire export-formatting responsibility via its single public method, GetCSV(Of T).
