I am trying to write a windows application in vb.net to import data from excel to sql server. I got "object not set to an instance of an object" error. The data actually have been inserted into the sql. The following is my code. I have a button when the button is clicked, it does frmProcess(). The first row is header in excel. I start to read data from 2nd row.

I am trying to read excel data (Excel 2007 SP1, on Windows XP SP3) with visual basic .net 2008 (VB 9.0 SP1). I have tried several attempts and whatever I do I am getting the following error message: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek." Translated: Old format or unknown type libraryI have added the reference "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" to my project. I am assuming that I might have to add a different or an additional reference, but I do not have any clue which one to use. List of things I have already done:- Searched other forums- Altered the language settings- Tried it on an other Computer (Win XP SP3, Excel 2007, Visual Basic 2008 Express)- Ran the diagnostics tool in Excel - Updated all updates etc...- Reinstalled Visual BasicI really do not have any clue why it should not work?

I have some problem about read excel file in vb.net i want read data in excel. that excel file select from user local drive. so user browse to their local drive and read from that path. after that, bind data to datagrid.
I'm creating a program and it is paramount to its functionality that it can open->read->close a Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) file.Now, I've searched the forums with the keyword "Excel" and found a lot of stuff in many programming languages, none of which were any use to me.
I should pinpoint that I'm not that good at programming as university takes all my times, but every summer (like this one) i really enjoy tackling my problems via programming.[code]...
I have created I hope a sequence of steps that reads data from an excel spreadsheet into my VB app..specifically into a checkedlistbox. I would also like to do this in reverse IE Copy values from a checkedbox list back into a new worksheet?
I 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 have an excel sheet that contains 25000 phone numbers listed in one cell with no sorting order. I want to create a small windows application that can read the sheet and return the total number of the phone numbers and how many duplicate numbers as well as the number of times of repetitions. How I can resolve this issue? What is the best way to approach it? I'm using VS 2008 and VB.Net.
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.
I been google search for a while (a month at least). My problem before is how to read raw data from access. however, i find out that access not suitable for my project. I more interested in using Excel, because for later analysis i would came out with graph using excel rather than using access. Since, i been develop a GUI Program for Battery Cyclic Test. The part for Cyclic Test and DAQ Interfacing is done already.
My weakness is not been able to understand/know how to read raw data for particular column, and display it into textbox. In many out there forums or discussion, they explain about this kind of database by using class in VB. But, i would like to implement excel data manipulation in VB-Window Form Application.[code]...

Using VB.Net, I am reading an Excel spreadsheet does anyone know what might cause a cell to be read as VBNull when it contains data?the cell clearly contains data. and what is extra weird is all the same cells in the rows before and after the bad one have the little green triangle in the upper left corner, indicating an error - but they all read fine the cell that reads as NULL is the cell in row 4 above

I have to do an application using VB.Net .The application must be able to capture values from ms word data table and map them to ms excel sheet. For your information, i have over 6000 files ms word document, each of them contains 4 data tables using the same format .Then i have this code for read from data table 1 in document 1:
I'm only getting started with VB.Net, using VB Express 2008.Using the System.Data.SQLite wrapper, I need to read data off a SQLite database file, and chart data using basic bars, pies, lines, etc. Nothing fancy.
I 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 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:
Public Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click 'Connect to the Excel spreadsheet Dim xConnStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & txtFileName.Text & ";" & _
