I am trying to manipulate an excel 2010 file in my asp net mvc

  • 0

I am trying to manipulate an excel 2010 file in my asp net mvc application.

This is the code:

string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\teste.xlsx;Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES\";";
OleDbConnection conexao = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
conexao.Open();

Open() method trows an exception I cannot find out why.

Exception:

    Erro: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException (0x80004005): Failure creating file.

    Use a variable fro the file-path with a verbatim string:

    string path = @"c:\teste.xlsx";
string connectionString = string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES\";");", path);

    Otherwise you need to mask the backslashes like "c:\\teste.xlsx":
