OLEDB For Excel: Inconsistent Insert Results?
Jan 13, 2010
OVERVIEW:I am currently having an issue loading a large number of rows into Excel. I say large because the attached code in fact correctly inserts 50 rows into an Excel worksheet, however, as the number of rows increases to no more than500 rows the data is not inserted into the worksheet. No error is thrown by .net and the .xls filesize actually shows an increase in size, however, when the file is opened there are no rows in the spreadsheet..... Then, when the .xls file is closed the filesize is once again reduced.
Again, the code works for a small number of rows. Are there any known bugs with the OleDB driver for Excel?ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:I have tried inserting rows to both Excel 2003 and 2007, same issue.I have tried closing the connection after each insert.... performance if horrible and it does not fix the problem.I have wrapped the ExecuteNonQuery in a transaction.... no go....

Just wondering if i might hit a snag in my program. Ive got 10+ users using the same files, via a Oledb to put info into an excel spreadsheet. If 2 or more people save there file at the same time will the program go into read only on one person. Normally one 3 will use the file at one time. I know Sql itself would be better to use. best way i can describe it, normally using excel if you manage to open the same file twice one opens as normal but the other opens as a Read only file, will the same thing happen if im using Oledb connections?

im trying to write to an sql database. im inserting an image, as well as some other information. I am using the following code which works fine, as long as i do not add an extra column/variable "LOCATION" in to the mix and leave "
'Cmd.Parameters.Add("@LOCATION", OleDb.OleDbType., 3).Value = "testing"
commented out. *this is undesireable as im trying to add extra criteria to be saved like LOCATION.
Try
Dim st As New FileStream("\serverfolder1storage" & "pdftemplate.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
Dim mbr As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(st)
Dim buffer(st.Length) As Byte
[code]....
i am trying to store the location e.g "c:file1.jpg" in the sql db. Can anyone reccomend a solution to this using OLEDB? ideally i need to add approx 4 more variables. e,g
firstname
surname
dob
location

I am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet.If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown.A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.[code]I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.

I have always used Excel.interop before but I thought oledb would be simpler because, for this application, I only have to read the data which it can't seem to do. It accesses the file alright because I can't open the file while I am at a breakpoint. It attempts to read the file because oExcelReader.fieldcount = 14 which is correct. oExcelReader.hasrows = true which is not correct. The line where I use getstring(1) errors out and says there is no data for this row/column.

Attempting to execute an update command against an Excel 2007 file gives the error:
Operation must use an updateable query. I'm using System.Data.OleDb with a connection string like this:
Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=""" & pathToFile & """;" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel 12.0;HDR=YES"""
I have tried setting ReadOnly=false but that gives Could not find installable ISAM. I have also tried setting Mode=ReadWrite and IMEX=1 which didn't seem to have any effect. My update command is like this:
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = con.CreateCommand()
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE [" + sheetName + "] SET [Quantity Error] = 'test' WHERE [Full Name] = 'Mr. Brown White'"
where sheetName was obtained from querying the excel schema. Is it possible to do what I am trying to?

I have some excel file, where I have to programatically delete all hidden columns.The problem if that, when I receive these files, the cells are mainly formulas, and as I delete some columns I get some "#REF#" problems.
I thought a bit about the problem an decided to create a function that loops throught all cells and replace the value by its own value, before deleting the columns, via OLEDB:
dt.Rows(row)(col) = dt.Rows(row)(col).ToString I don't know if this works. So I followed an update example I found in google, but it doesn't work:
Dim conexao_Excel As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;data source=" & fileName & ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1;"""
cn = New OleDbConnection(conexao_Excel)
cn.Open()
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [" & sheetname & "]", cn)
da.Fill(dt)

"Update requires a valid UpdateCommand when passed DataRow collection with modified rows." I image this is pretty basic, but I have already lost so much time on this issues...

Originally I was using Office Interop to import data, but that was a headache and a half for both me and my computer. Right now I'm attempting to load it with ACE, but my data grid isn't being populated. Once that's up and running I need to know how to use that data in other ways, and how to grab specific cells of data from that dataset. I'm using Visual Studio 2008, by the way.

A While back I developed a application that connected to Excel using DB connection. It worked fine since the application was designed for usage on one particular PC with Excel 2003. I especially liked the solution since the data retrieval was much faster compared to what I would get if I connected to Excel using Interop libraries.
However, recently when I tried to implement the same solution onto another app that would run on various PC that could use different versions of MS Office I ran into multiple problems. First of all, I can't use the same connection string on various versions. Also, the whole x64 vs x86 thing is adding to the problem.
I wonder if there is a way to check the version and use the apropriate connection string for every version?

I have a VB.net script that runs a simulation on several machines within the domain. During this simulation, a login is initiated to an application via a web portal. After the login, the connection to a specific Citrix server (whichever is least busy) is established. At this point, I want to run a Netstat -r | find (IP Range of server farm) in command line. From what I have deduced, I probably won't be able to do what I want from the command line and everything will have to be with in the VB.net module using System.Net.NetworkInformation. I am a Citrix Administrator with a decent level of .net experience but I am having trouble with this.
