Question

I am trying to bind excel file to dataGridView

strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
                + "Data Source=E://Org.xls;" 
                + "Extended Properties=" + (char)34 
                + "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;" + (char)34;
            OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(strConn);
            textBox1.Text = "test";
            OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand("Select * from [Sheet1$]", conn);
            conn.Open();
            dataGridView1.DataSource = command.ExecuteReader(); 



            conn.Close();

But grid view doesn’t show anything. It doesn’t give error either

Heres how to do it, just need to change the path for the excel file and the reference to the grid.

    OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c://Org.xls;Extended Properties=" + (char)34 + "Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;" + (char)34);
    DataSet myExcelData=new DataSet();

    conn.Open();

    OleDbDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from [Sheet1$]", conn);
    myDataAdapter.Fill(myExcelData);

    ultraGrid1.DataSource = myExcelData;

    conn.Close();
