Upload excel file to server extract data and bind it to gridview code
protected void btn_Import_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (fu.HasFile)
{
if (Path.GetExtension(fu.FileName).ToLower() == ".xls" || Path.GetExtension(fu.FileName).ToLower() == ".xlsx")
{
fu.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(@"File/" + fu.FileName));
DataSet ds = ImportExcelXLS(Server.MapPath(@"File/" + fu.FileName), true);
GridView1.DataSource = ds;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}
}
Import from excel file into dataset code -
private static DataSet ImportExcelXLS(string FileName, bool hasHeaders)
{
string HDR = hasHeaders ? "Yes" : "No";
string strConn = "";
if (Path.GetExtension(FileName).ToLower() == ".xls")
{
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" +
FileName + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=" +
HDR + ";IMEX=1\"";
}
else
{
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" +
FileName + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=" +
HDR + ";IMEX=1\"";
}
DataSet output = new DataSet();
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strConn))
{
conn.Open();
DataTable schemaTable = conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(
OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new object[] { null, null, null, "TABLE" });
foreach (DataRow schemaRow in schemaTable.Rows)
{
string sheet = schemaRow["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [" + sheet + "]", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
DataTable outputTable = new DataTable(sheet);
output.Tables.Add(outputTable);
new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd).Fill(outputTable);
}
}
return output;
}
