How to convert .db files to .csv using C# windForms?

[samiarja]

I am working on an application that download .db from a remote server to a local server. These files are in .db format, and they need to be converted to .csv once they are downloaded to the local server.

As shown in the code below, I am reading from a json file and deserializing it, and then initialize a timer that repeat every 5 seconds. Once the button is clicked the machine IP's address is pinged and the feedback time is recorded on a text file, at the same time, the file will be transferred to the PC using SFTP. (code is successfully working)

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to Start", "STARTED", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
//Read JSON file from the directory
filePath = @"C:\temp\JSON\app-db.json";
string text = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
var currentList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Datalogger>>(text);
//Set the timer to 5 sec
System.Windows.Forms.Timer Clock = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer
{
Interval = 5000 //5 seconds
};
Clock.Start();

Clock.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
}
else
{
this.Activate();
}

}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
filePath = @"C:\temp\JSON\app-db.json";
string text = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
var currentList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Datalogger>>(text);
foreach (var item in currentList)
{
List<String> hosts = new List<String>();
for (Int32 i = 0; i < 10; ++i) hosts.Add(item.IPaddress);
//Write IP time feedback to a txt file
var average = hosts.AsParallel().WithDegreeOfParallelism(64).
Select(h => new Ping().Send(h).RoundtripTime).Average();
//item.IPaddress = DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString() + " " + DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString();
Console.WriteLine("IP:" + item.IPaddress + "," + "time=" + average + "ms");
m_streamWriter.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}",
DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(),
DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString(),
"IP:" + item.IPaddress + "," + "time=" + average + "ms");
m_streamWriter.Flush();
//Read JSON string values
string host = item.IPaddress;
string username = item.username;
string password = item.password;
string remoteDirectory = item.sourcefolder;
string localDirectory = item.destfolder;
string filextension = item.filextension;
string removedownloaded = item.removedownloaded.ToString();
//Connect to the SFTP server to downdload data
using (SftpClient sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
{
try
{
sftp.Connect();

var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteDirectory);

foreach (var file in files)
{
try
{
string remoteFileName = file.Name;

if ((file.Name.EndsWith(filextension)) || (file.Name.EndsWith(filextension.ToLower())) || (file.Name.EndsWith(filextension.ToUpper())))
{
using (Stream file1 = File.OpenWrite(Path.Combine(localDirectory, remoteFileName)))
{

string path = remoteDirectory + "/" + remoteFileName;
sftp.DownloadFile(path, file1);


if (removedownloaded == "1")
{
sftp.Delete(path);
}
else
{
sftp.DownloadFile(path, file1);
}

}
}

}
catch (Exception er1)
{
//MessageBox.Show("An exception has been caught " + er1.ToString());
}

}
}
catch (Exception entry)
{
MessageBox.Show(entry.Message);
}

}

}

}


and this is the JSON file.

[
{
"Record": 1,
"IPaddress": "192.168.6.247",
"Machinename": "taurus",
"username": "root",
"password": "root",
"sourcefolder": "/home/root/conf",
"destfolder": "C:/temp/Data1",
"filextension": ".db",
"removedownloaded": 0,
"removecsv": 1,
"removedb": 1
}
]

Any suggestions and thoughts on how to convert them?

I appreciate any help!
