mapping / write assist with csvhelper

Quick help here please on csvhelper...

csv: Name,LastName

PersonMap:

    public override void CreateMap()
    {
        Map(x => x.Name).Name("Name");
        Map(x => x.LasName).Name("LastName");

        {
            r.Configuration.RegisterClassMap<PersonMap>();
            records = r.GetRecords<Person>().ToList();     
        } 

        using (var w = new CsvWriter(new StreamWriter("person.csv")))

ok so I fixed it with the following:

Write:

string persondata = "John, Doe";
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("person.csv", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write))
        using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
        { sw.WriteLine(persondata); sw.Dispose(); }

Read:

IEnumerable<Person> records;
using (var reader = new CsvReader(new StreamReader(@"person.csv")))
{
        reader.Configuration.RegisterClassMap<PersonMap>();
        records = reader.GetRecords<Person>();
}

Looks like your person.csv doesn't have the first line as a header line as follows:

Name,LastName

Please check the CSV file.
