Question

So im importing an excel doc using ‘excel data reader’ in my asp.net project,
if one of the columns are empty it throws an error

else
{ 
   System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("UOM column is empty at row");
}

how would I go about giving the exact column that is empty eg. ‘row 77’

If you are using this link

to read excel file then

  foreach (DataTable table in result.Tables)
  {
      for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows.Count; i++)
      {
          for (int j = 0; j < table.Columns.Count; j++)
          Console.Write("\"" + table.Rows[i].ItemArray[j] + "\";");
          Console.WriteLine();
       }
   }

then i is the row and j is the column.
