Explain what you are doing, and potentially why for as much context as possible. Avoid screenshots where possible, share code directly in Discord. Type

BWe are not going to write code for you. That is your job.
BWe can however point you in the right direction.
Di asked for help, not for someone to do my dirty work. I just want to know if my current code is fine, and need direction making a search engine, and saving user input to a csv file.

BWe can't help without knowing what to help with.
BYou just said help and linked code.
Dokay i apologize
SI would not use any cloud service to save a file your project depends on though
Sassuming that path is for OneDrive
Syou may get some weird errors because of syncing
BYour properties are not following the C# conventions
BAlso you can use auto-properties
BNo need to write backing-fields
Bin this case
BProperties should use PascalCase
BSo
name becomes Name or like lastname becomes LastNameDokay so the reason I do properties like that is because of my instructor. It's like his way of seeing that we aren't using ChatGPT
BLmfao
Dim so serious
BInteresting reasoning by your instructor
BNote that private backing fields should use camel case but with _ prefix
B_lastNameBSo it will become like this
Dfor private properties, he asks for lowercasename
B:distilld_look:
Di dont know. i wish i could tell you why we do things the way we do
BAlright
Dhe tells us that we should only care if it shows errors
Dand the lowercase names dont get errors sooo
BI mean, sure.
It just helps to follow the official coding convention.
It just helps to follow the official coding convention.
BMakes it more readable.
Dbut anyway, with my code as is right? why is it not saving the data to the csv
?
?
BWhat happens when you call UpdateCsvFile?
BNote that if you send the executable to your professor, it will fail to read the csv file due to being absolute path which is not shared.
BYou write to relative path, meaning current working directory of your program.
And you read from OneDrive/Documents path
And you read from OneDrive/Documents path
BI can pretty much bet that it is reading the wrong file.
Dwell at the beginning i set a string filePath = Electronics.csv
Ddoes that not like open direct files named that?
BNo, it just means relative.
BIf you do not specify an absolute path, like
C:/Foo/myfile.txt it'll be relativeDi do apologize if my questions are stupid asf lol. i suck at this class
Dlike actually.
Dsittin 70% rn with a final tomorrow
BRelative meaning current workint directory.
BEveryone "suck" in the beginning.
That's why you learn.

Dyeah i know. im trying lol
