Import ExcelData to DataTable and Display in Grid in C#,

ASP.NET

Here is an example of how to import fullexcelfile into a DataTable and bind it with a data grid. also the solution for error "The

Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine" is included.

Introduction

The example shows how you can directly import fullExcelsheet into a datatable in C#. I have created an example of the same with

importing both *.xls& *.xlsxfile. The common problem when using this method will be "The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0provider is not registered on the local machine". I have also added a so lution for the same.

Using the CodeLet us create GUI for the same as below on anaspxpage:

runat="server" AllowPaging="false">

This will allow you to upload Excelfile for import.

Now for importing Excelfile, we will use "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" (for Excelfiel 97-03 format) &"Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0". The core part of importing Excelfile is to use the below two connections strings:

Now our C# code behind file will be as shown below:

usingSystem;usingSystem.Collections.Generic;

usingSystem.Configuration;usingSystem.Data;usingSystem.Data.OleDb;usingSystem.IO;usingSystem.Linq;usingSystem.Web;usingSystem.Web.UI;usingSystem.Web.UI.WebControls;namespace Excel_Import{

public partial classWebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page {

protected voidPage_Load(objectsender, EventArgs e) { }

protected voidbtnUpload_Click(objectsender, EventArgs e) {

if(FileUploadControl.HasFile)

{stringExt = Path.GetExtension(FileUploadControl.PostedFile.FileName);if(Ext == ".xls"|| Ext == ".xlsx")

{ lblErrorMessage.Visible = false;

stringName = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.PostedFile.FileName);stringFolderPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FolderPath"];stringFilePath = Server.MapPath(FolderPath + Name);

FileUploadControl.SaveAs(FilePath); FillGridFromExcelSheet(FilePath, Ext, ddlIsHeaderExists.SelectedValue); }

else { lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; lblErrorMessage.InnerText = "Please upload valid ExcelFile";

ExcelGridView.DataSource = null;ExcelGridView.DataBind();

} } }

private voidFillGridFromExcelSheet(stringFilePath, stringext, stringisHader) {

stringconnectionString = "";if(ext == ".xls")

{ //For Excel97-03 connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source={0};Extended Properties='Excel8.0;HDR={1}'"; }

else if(ext == ".xlsx") { //For Excel07 and greater connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source={0};Extended Properties='Excel8.0;HDR={1}'"; } connectionString = String.Format(connectionString, FilePath, isHader);

OleDbConnection conn = newOleDbConnection(connectionString); OleDbCommand cmd = newOleDbCommand(); OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter = newOleDbDataAdapter(); DataTable dt = newDataTable(); cmd.Connection = conn;

//Fetch 1st Sheet Name

conn.Open(); DataTable dtSchema; dtSchema = conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null);

string ExcelSheetName = dtSchema.Rows[0]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString(); conn.Close();

//Read all data of fetched Sheet to a Data Table

conn.Open();

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * From ["+ ExcelSheetName + "]"; dataAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd; dataAdapter.Fill(dt); conn.Close();

//Bind Sheet Data to GridView

ExcelGridView.Caption = Path.GetFileName(FilePath);ExcelGridView.DataSource = dt;ExcelGridView.DataBind();

} }}

This is how we can add Excelimport with C#.

There will be a common error which I faced after using "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" is "TheMicrosoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered on the local machine". I have a clear solution for that.

Download the below two EXE files:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=132551.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=237342.

Install both of them & restart the machine once.

Whoo... Error gone...

Enjoy!

Hi, you can remove the error by forcing the compiler to select the default platform target: x86.
