What’s the best/smoothest solution to import an Excel-file to SQL Server, on a 64 bit Windows system?

What I’m specifically after is to import an Excel 97-2003 file, to a SQL 2005 database, from an ASP.NET/C# page. The import data will demand users to use a “template”, so the data looks the same every time.

Previously the system has used Microsoft Jet OleDb 4.0 for this kind of import, but now it has moved to a 64 bit environment. I know Jet can run on 64 bit, if IIS is run in 32 bit mode, but that is in my opinion not an option.

So, what are the 64 bit alternatives here?

    You should use Integration Services.
    Create an Integration Services package that load the Excel file (relatively easy thing to do; you can even use the Import and Export wizard), and then call the package from asp.net
