I am extracting data from an Excel spreadsheet using interop in C# and I have a small problem that I cant think of an answer for.

When I extract the data for date cell using this code:

string _date = xlWorksheet.get_Range("B3", "B3").Value2.ToString().Trim();

I get a value of 40694 which wont go directly in to SQL using my insert statemwnt.

I have also tried:

DateTime _date = Convert.ToDateTime(xlWorksheet.get_Range("B3", "B3").Value2.ToString().Trim());

But that comes back with an error saying that it cant convert it.

Can anyone advise me on how to do it?

    Use DateTime.FromOADate()

    Using your example:
    DateTime _date = DateTime.FromOADate(Double.Parse(xlWorksheet.get_Range("B3", "B3").Value2))
