    // This sample code creates a new CSV file (sample.csv)
    // that contains this content:
    // 
    // year,color,country,food
    // 2001,red,France,cheese
    // 2005,blue,"United States",hamburger

    CkCsv csv = new CkCsv();

    // Indicate that the 1st row
    // should be treated as column names:
    csv.put_HasColumnNames(true);

    success = csv.SetColumnName(0,"year");
    success = csv.SetColumnName(1,"color");
