Load CSV document with options

GroupDocs.Conversion provides CsvLoadOptions to give you control over how source CSV document will be processed. The following options could be set:

• Separator - specifies the delimiter 
• IsMultiEncoded - if true, means that the document contains several encodings
• HasFormula - specifies that if text starts with “=” it should be parsed as a formula
• ConvertNumericData - specifies that strings with digits should be parsed as numbers
• ConvertDateTimeData - specifies that date/time string should be detected and parsed to DateTime
• Encoding - specifies the encoding to be used during load

};
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.csv", getLoadOptions))
