Code : Reading data from Excel sheet
DataTable dt;

string connectionString =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0; Data Source=D:\MySamplefile.xls;
Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

using(OleDbConnection Connection =
new OleDbConnection(connectionString))

{

Connection.Open()

using(OleDbCommand command =
new OleDbCommand())

{

command.Connection = Connection;

command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM
[EmpTable]";

using(OleDbDataAdapter adapter =new OleDbDataAdapter())
{
adapter.SelectCommand = command;
adapter.Fill(dt);
}
}
}

Conclusion:
So in this article we have seen how to do a small manipulation of reading and wr
iting Excel data using C# which we normally require in our day-to-day coding.
