when adding a reference I see:
.net tab
microsoft.office.tools.excel
is that the one I need to read a excel file?
other posts seem to be using a COM assembly with ‘interop’ in it?
The Interop one is available on the COM tab if you have Excel installed. It will be “Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library” or similar. The version number represents the version of Office so make sure you get the one you’re after, though Office should be backwards compatible if you select an older one.
This will give you a reference under the references folder of: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
