Static Fields?

[bbakermmc]

Is there a way to add static fields?
EX: When loading from file and putting into the DB, we have a FileId that we generate before the insert, so we would want to add this, but it doesnt exist in the file. The code seems to blow up if I try to do it.

Field index must be included in [0, FieldCount[. Specified field index was : '16'.
Parameter name: field
Actual value was 16.

ref:

using (var reader = new CsvReader(new StreamReader(blobFile.OpenRead()), false, '|'))
               {

                   reader.MissingFieldAction = MissingFieldAction.ReplaceByNull;

                   reader.ParseError += (sender, args) =>
                   {
                       var error = args.Error;
                   };

                   var cols = new List<Column>();
                   cols.Add(new Column(){Name ="FileLogId", Type = typeof(string), OverrideValue = fileLogId.ToString(), DefaultValue = fileLogId.ToString()});

                   foreach (var field in fileDefinitionFields.Where(x => x.FieldOrder >0))
                   {
                       cols.Add(new Column(){Name = field.ColumnName, Type = typeof(string)});
                   }

                   reader.Columns = cols;

                   // Now use SQL Bulk Copy to move the data
                   using (var sbc = bulkCopy)
                   {


                       sbc.WriteToServer(reader);
                   }
               }

I'm having a very similar issue. It appears that DefaultValue and OverrideValue are only applied when reading the CSV row by row. I need them to be applied for bulkcopy as well. I'm looking at the source, but can't see yet where the issue occurs.

Hi @bbakermmc
Was there any solution to this please?
