Question

I need to read in data from excel files in my c# winforms app. Any recommendations on good components for this? I’ve used syncfusion some years ago and that seemed to do the trick.

There’ll be a bunch of header lines I need to skip (so a straight ADO approach won’t work easily) and then a table of data with standard columns but variable number of rows.

I’ll be pumping the data into SQL Server db once it’s read, but probably need to do validation etc on it before that.

thanks!

Answer 1

Ultimately we opted for Syncfusion’s XLSIO which works well.

Thanks for the other suggestions too.
