I have a way to read and excel file, see below,
[Code]....
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?
In my application, i have one fileupload control which will take excel file. I want to read this excel file and want to store in datatable. How will i do this. I am using visual studio 2008.

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 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 has been simplified, "information ..." in the sql insertion command represents 1803 characters.
ExcelObjConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.12.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & fileName & ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0 XML"
ExcelConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ExcelObjConn)
ExcelConnection.Open()
Try
SqlCommand = "CREATE TABLE ABC ([row1] text, [row2] text, [row3] text, [row4] text)"
ExcelCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(SqlCommand, ExcelConnection)
ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
ExcelCommand.Dispose()
For i As Integer = 0 To 1124
SqlCommand = "Insert into ABC ([row1], [row2], [row3], [row4]) Values ('information...', 'information ...', 'information ...', 'information ...')"
ExcelCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(SqlCommand, ExcelConnection)
ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
ExcelCommand.Dispose()
Next
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
If ExcelConnection IsNot Nothing Then
ExcelConnection.Close()
ExcelConnection.Dispose()
End If
End Try
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 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 .

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 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 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?
