Syncfusion® XlsIO supports auto-detecting the data types upon import of CSV into an Excel workbook, by enabling the `PreserveCSVDataTypes` property available under the `IApplication` interface.
Code Snippet:
using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
application.PreserveCSVDataTypes = true;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Open("../../Data/CSVFile.csv");
workbook.SaveAs("Output.xlsx");
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.xlsx");
}
