How convert Excel data into DataSet/DataTable?

Ronald S. Cook

Hi,

I need to open an Excel file from within my ASP.NET app and read data. I'm
guessing the most like format in ASP.NET would be a DataTable.

Regardles,, how do I get the data into my ASP.NET app from the Excel file?
I have made a reference to the Excel 11.0 object library, but am not sure
what code comes next.

Thanks,
Ron

Ron,
As long as the data in the Sheet is tabular, you would probably be better
off just using an OleDb JET connection string directly to the Excel workbook
and reading in the data with ADO.NET

Excel with Interop is extremely messy on an IIS webserver.

There are a number of samples around, I just don't have one handy.

Hello Ronald,

Use OLE DB Jet provider to access data stored in Excel.
connection string looks like: Provider=Micros oft.Jet.OLEDB.4 .0;Data Source=myBook.x ls;Extended
Properties="Exc el 8.0;HDR=YES";

Then use

OleDbDataAdapte r da;
da = new OleDbDataAdapte r("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", connectionStrin g);

after that u Fill dataset and use it in your ASP.net page

I recomend to get data in XML format, coz it's easy to trasnsorm them in
suitable form for page using XSLT
