Retrieve Data from Excel to fill DataGridView

[lenniekuah]

Hi Friends,
I need your help. Please help me.

I am trying to retrieve data from Excel Spreadsheet to fill the DataGridView for display prior to updating SQL SERVER with individual DataGridView row and encounter this error message: Public member 'WorkbookOpen' on type 'ApplicationCla ss' not found. which is caused by this coding trying to open the Excel WorkBook with the Excel name and Folder path.

Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook = CType(objExcel. WorkbookOpen(ex celPathName), Excel.Workbook)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
This coding prompt user to select Excel name and folder path

 Private Sub btnFolderDialog_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFolderDialog.Click
        'prompt user to select Excel name and folder path
        excelPathName = ""
        Dim openFileDialog1 As System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
        openFileDialog1 = New System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
 
        With OpenFileDialog1
            .Title = "Excel Spreadsheet"
            .FileName = ""
            .DefaultExt = ".xls"
            .AddExtension = True
            .Filter = "Excel  (*.xls)| *.xls|All File(*.xls)|.xls"
 
            If .ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
                excelPathName = (CType(.FileName, String))             
                End If
            End If
        End With
