Question

I have added an Excel file to provide unit test values.

Below is a example about what I was doing before

public void test1()
{
    try
    {
        var Service = new Service.ServiceClient();
        var Cid = testContextInstance.DataRow["CId"].ToString();
        var MNumber = testContextInstance.DataRow["MNumber"].ToString();
        var VID = testContextInstance.DataRow["VID"].ToString();
        var isVisit = new Service.ISVisit()
        {
        };

    var first = Service.Medis(isVisit).Cast<Service.ISMedi>().FirstOrDefault();
    // Assert
    Assert.AreEqual("12345678", first.Proc.ProcID);
    }

.i am using excel sheet to provide values for the untitest.

By using the sample code above i am able to loop through each row in the excel and set values to the variables.But the Requirement is not to attach excel as a Data Driven Source and not to use Oledb way to query things in Excel.They said me to use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; .

Can any one help me with how to change the code to retrive the data in excel , row by row and assign cells to respective variables using different approach.??? This is a c# Unittest framework

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/microsoft.office.interop.excel(v=office.11).aspx.

This might be a duplicate of the C#: How to access an Excel cell?, which has examples in the answers using Interop.

Warning

Because you mention webservices and Office interop in the same question:

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support,
Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended,
non-interactive client application or component (including ASP,
ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable
behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/257757 for more information.

OOXml

If possible, you should be using OOXml, which is the recommended way to work with Office documents programmatically.
