List Separator

Who needs list separators? You do, trust me. You should consider list separators whenever you handle a string array in multi-column list boxes, memory, or comma separated values files (.csv).

.Csv files are only comma separated for languages that use a comma as list separator. However, many languages do use a comma to separate decimals in numbers, that's why they use e.g. a semi-colon (;) to separate string arrays.

Sisulizer Info

What you need to do

Get the list separator setting of the user system. The Windows API provides functions to get the appropriate values. In .Net, check the culture name space.
