        public static void CreateCsvFile(DataTable dt, string strFilePath, bool exportColumnHeaders)
        {
            using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(strFilePath, false, Encoding.UTF8))
            {
                int iColCount = dt.Columns.Count;

                if (exportColumnHeaders)
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i < iColCount; i++)
                    {
                        sw.Write("\"" + dt.Columns[i] + "\"");

                        if (i < iColCount - 1)
                            sw.Write(",");
                    }

                    sw.Write(sw.NewLine);
                }

                foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i < iColCount; i++)
                    {
                        if (!Convert.IsDBNull(dr[i]))
                            sw.Write("\"" + dr[i] + "\"");

                        if (i < iColCount - 1)
                            sw.Write(",");
                    }

                    sw.Write(sw.NewLine);
                }

                sw.Close();
            }
        }
