MappingType

Specifies how columns in the CSV file are mapped to table columns.

Remarks

The selected value determines the strategy used to associate CSV columns with Grooper table columns.

The choice of mapping method affects which properties are relevant and how the extractor interprets the CSV structure.

Can be one of the following values:

Name	Value		Description
Named	0	►	Map columns by matching the header names in the CSV file to the names of table columns. Uses the values in the header row to find corresponding table columns by name. The HeaderRow property determines which row is used for column names.
Positional	1	►	Map columns by their position (order) in the CSV file. The first column in the CSV is mapped to the first table column, the second to the second, and so on. The HeaderRow property is ignored in this mode.
Mapped	2	►	Map columns using a lexicon for flexible or custom mappings. Uses the Mappings property (an Embedded Lexicon) to define how CSV columns map to table columns. Allows mapping by synonyms, alternate names, or other custom logic.
