But some times the file that is read, reports that there is more rows than there actually are. i.e. I only have 300 lines of data but the read reads in 500. My question is, and I am sure I have seen this somewhere but I cannot find it now, is how do I get the reader to stop reading at the first blank line?

View 8 RepliesI am reading a CSV file created by Excel. the string I am reading needs to be encoded (it shows small boxes instead of hebrew characters) so I wrote a lil routine to convert the string -
Function encodeName(ByVal name As String) As String
Dim src As Encoding = Encoding.UTF8
Dim dest As Encoding = Encoding.Default
Dim srcBytes() As Byte
srcBytes = src.GetBytes(name)
Dim asciiBytes() As Byte = Encoding.Convert(src, dest, srcBytes)
Dim mychars(dest.GetCharCount(asciiBytes) - 1) As Char
dest.GetChars(asciiBytes, 0, asciiBytes.Length, mychars, 0)
Dim asciiString As New String(mychars)
End Function
From what I read FileStream.ReadLine reads the text with encoding UTF8 so I try to convert from UTF8 to Encoding.Default buy instead of little boxes I get question marks.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to import the excel file whose format is not in row column order in asp.net 3.5
I tried to read the file using OleDBDataAdapter but it given me the error "External file is not in proper format" something like that..
I have some code that reads records from an excel file and then imports that data into an sql database. The issue only happens when the excel file has more then 350 rows in it. In the middle of the import it just stops executing and I get directed to the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' page or just a blank page when using firefox.
I dont get any time out errors or any error at all but still I tried messing around with the script timeout settings but still does the same thing at about the 2 min 30 sec mark.

I need to be able to read an excel file from a file upload control but I can not save the file to disk first, it must be done in memory.
[Code]....
Above is my code for reading the data file if it IS saved to disk, but again, I have to be able to do this without saving the file to disk, it must be done in memory. I have not been able to find any sample code anywhere on how to do this from memory, everything seems to force the file be uploaded, saved to disk, and then read in the connection string, which again I can not do.
I understand how to use a connection string object to read excel sheets. What I don't know is how to follow a hyperlink inside excel, grab matching data from the linked page and return it to my database. Essentially, the spreadsheet has two columns:
Title | Class#
Class# has the hyperlink which links to an internal web site. The connected page has a course description and any pre-required classes that must be taken before you can take this class. This is where I'm rather stumped as I've not had to do this type of thing before.
in my application i have to read from an excel files and check the value of every cell i'm using an OleDb connection to open it and reading but i have this issue if some of the cells in the excel sheet is having this warning when i try to read it returns DBNull ??could any one give me a clue ....knowing that i can not force the user for not having this warning ...i have to solve this within my code .
View 5 RepliesI can directly use to read and display Excel or CSV files using asp web control(GridView, sqldatasource etc). I do NOT want to upload the file first to an sql database before reading them, I just want to read the files directly. I am using asp.net 2.0 and c#.
View 3 RepliesI need to read an Excel work book with 2 sheet which have more than 60,000 records. The application is an ASP.Net application so the performance matters.
Which approach should I take? Sohuld I do it using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel or should I do it using OLEDB in ADO.Net?
I know this is probably a pretty easy thing to do and it is if I can upload the file and store it onto the hard drive of the server. What I need to do is read the text file into memory and then parse through it one line at a time. Anyone have any code that demonstrates that?
View 8 RepliesI have made an application to read data from an excel file and save to database "Access". It's working perfect except one thing that..There are 4 columns in excel file as :
Shop no
owner address
alternate member address
permanent member address
For all fields i have kept same datatype in database as "text". As in above image In Column A "shop no" in some rows there are same shop no with A,B,C classes. Now when I am uploading this excel file it saving all data, but in Column A cells which having only numbers would be saving to database eg: 185, 187, 188. And the cells which has both number and class eg: 185 A, 185 B would be reading as null values.
I have a code already to read from the excelsheet but to use this code i need to pass the path where the excel file is located on the server.
I don't want to upload this file excel file to server but just want read from this excel file.
I have a fileupload control for the user to locate the file, is there way to read the excel file without uploading it to the server?
I would like ask you for some ideas how can I write mechanism that will be automatically read files from folder. I don't know how to schedule the write task. I want to check for new file everyday and if the new file is in the folder read it.
View 2 RepliesI am working on a comparison tool that will take an excel file and a .csv file and find differences. The user is going to be selecting the two files from their local machine via the .NET FileUpload control. The issue I am running into is that I don't want to write the files to the server first so using something like below won't work for me, as "Book1.xls" or even " + FilePath + " in place of it won't work. I need to be able to read the posted files into memory, then create maybe datatables of them, then do my comparison code.

I have a scenario where I have to read an excel file to dump records in a mysql database. The code generates an exception Sheet1 not found. I have pasted the code below. Please let me know the solution to the exception. I have given the correct read/write/modify settings to my excel file.
if (fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".xls") || fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName.EndsWith(".XLS"))
{
string fileName = Server.MapPath(fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileName + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0";
// Create the connection object
OleDbConnection oledbConn = new OleDbConnection(connString);
try
{
// Open connection
oledbConn.Open();
// Create OleDbCommand object and select data from worksheet Sheet1
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]" , oledbConn);
// Create new OleDbDataAdapter
OleDbDataAdapter oleda = new OleDbDataAdapter();
oleda.SelectCommand = cmd;
// Create a DataSet which will hold the data extracted from the worksheet.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
// Fill the DataSet from the data extracted from the worksheet.
oleda.Fill(ds, "RestaurantExcelData");
for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; i++)
{
Response.Write("Data: " + ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0].ToString() + "");
}
}

oledbConn.Close();
}

I am trying to read data from excel file in asp.net. I have added the connection string to webConfig file:
<add name="xls" connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=HPM_DB.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"/>
But it shows me an errormessage when I run this query:
string query = "Select * from [IO_Definition$]";
IO_Definition is the name of the spreadsheet in my excel file. I also added the excel file to the App_Data folder of the website.
The error is:
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'IO_Definition$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
The thing is, when I write the absolute path of the excel file in the connectionString it does work. Is there anyway I can make it work without writing the absolute path?

when I used a code of exporting gridview into excel this code worked for a new website which is without masterpage.
my code:
public override void VerifyRenderingInServerForm(Control control) { }
protected void BtnGenerateReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=GridViewExport.xls");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();.....
Now the same code when I copy it in my project having masterpage . there is no compiler error but it is genereating excel file withno data in it but in fact there is data in the grid view at runtime.
