View 6 RepliesOledb To Read Excel File
Jun 22, 2010I 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.

Universal Way To Connecting To Excel Through OleDB Connection?
Nov 17, 2011A 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?

Feb 24, 2010I 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.

Asp.net - Reading CSV File With OLEDB Ignores First Line Even With HDR=No In Connection String?
Jan 4, 2011We're converting a Classic ASP site to an ASP.NET site. One function was to upload a 'template' of data in CSV format for importing into the database. There were several different record types in there (the first field always indentifies the type of data).The task was to get the CSV into a DataTable so it could be validated (new project is to have MUCH better validation rules)
The code seemed pretty straightforward - watered down (taking out comments, Try/Catch, etc) it is as follows:
Dim da As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Dim cn As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDirectory & ";" & "Extended Properties=""Text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited;""")
[code]....
The DataTable (dtData) is populated, but only starting with the second line of the CSV file DESPITE the fact that "HDR=No" is in the connection string.

View 1 RepliesEfficiency Of Oledb - Got 10+ Users Using Files, Via A Oledb To Put Info Into An Excel Spreadsheet
Oct 18, 2010Just 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?

Update Excel File Via OLEDB?
Aug 13, 2009I 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)
