Im new to this .NET programmin...i just need to know some basic stuff abt readin data from excel..I just use ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + p_fileUrl + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;Mode=Read;IMEX=1;'") to read data.in a particular column,first ten or below cells hav no values and the rest has values.
View 4 RepliesI use an OLEDB connection to read from an excel database, and this loop to read in all of the data from each of the columns
While reader.Read()
For i As Integer = 0 To reader.FieldCount - 1
temp = reader(i).ToString + ControlChars.Tab
output_file.Write(temp)
[code]....
Some of the columns contain date information, which are read in fine (usually as a string "2/20/2011" or so), but the headers of those columns are read in as a blank "". The headers for all the other columns read in fine, but not for the date containing columns.
I have created a customized list (by implementing IList) where I added a few special methods. Sometimes (but not always), I only want to expose this list as read-only. To do this for normal lists, I use the Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection wrapper, which works fine typically. But it seems by passing my customized list through this wrapper, my added methods are no longer visible, which defeats the whole purpose of having this customized list object in the first place. How can I create a read-only version of a customized list?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to import and read data in from an Excel file that is being updated every half second by way of a DDE Link from RSLinx Gateway,which I think is a default setting, though that data only changes every few minutes. There are 5 rows and 8 columns of data that I am reading in.Each column is a different tester starting with the second row, Testers 1 through 7. The first column has titles that describe the data coming in from the DDE links.
Each column has 5 rows of data related to the tester.I know how to display the data which I will post my code for below, but as far as reading the data and determining whether or not the part was good or bad, based on a boolean value, I am stuck.I would also like to save the data into a different excel file after determining the status of the part so that we can look at past data.

I am trying to read data from an excel sheet but there is an exception saying that no value given for one or more required parameters which I don't understand. Here is my code upto where the error is pointing to:
Dim MyConnection As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim DtSet As System.Data.DataSet
Dim MyCommand As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
[code]....
The exception points to that last line MyCommand.Fill(DtSet) which shows me that there is a problem with my select statement. Previously my code reads the data and displays it without the where clause in the select but when I added the where statement so that it can only read data from rows where the column I has a value equal to 176, it instead gives an exception that shows that some required parameter is missing a value?
I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am using a data reader to read an Excel spreadsheet and want to update a SQL Express table. The datatypes in this table mimic a software application I will eventually be passing data to and are listed in the comments in my code. No matter what I do or change, this will not run. I even populated my spreadsheet with zeros and this will not run. I have found many suggestions on the web and tried changing things but nothing seems to work. I also don't know specifically which variable is causing the error or the proper way to make sure there are no blanks in this spreadsheet.The error says "conversion from string "" to 'Double' is not valid Here is my code:
