Is there a built-in field attribute in the FileHelper library which will add a header row in the final generated CSV?

I have Googled and didn&#39;t find much info on it. Currently I have this:


    DelimitedFileEngine _engine = new DelimitedFileEngine(T);
    _engine.WriteStream
            (HttpContext.Current.Response.Output, dataSource, int.MaxValue);

It works, but without a header.

I&#39;m thinking of having an attribute like `FieldTitleAttribute` and using this as a column header.

So, my question is at which point do I check the attribute and insert header columns? Has anyone done something similar before?

I would like to get the headers inserted and use custom text different from the actual field name just by having an attribute on each member of the object:

    [FieldTitleAttribute(&quot;Custom Title&quot;)]
    private string Name

and maybe an option to tell the engine to insert the header when it&#39;s generated.

So when `WriteStream` or `WriteString` is called, the header row will be inserted with custom titles.

I have found a couple of Events for DelimitedFileEngine, but not what&#39;s the best way to detect if the current record is the first row and how to insert a row before this.
