helo all i wanted to import .csv file to my application Code: private DataSet ReadExcelData(string sFilePath) { DataSet dsOutput = new DataSet(); string sConnection = string.Empty; try { if (TypeExcel == "Excel 12.0 Xml") { sConnection = "provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1\""; } else if (TypeExcel == "Excel 8.0") { sConnection = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1\""; } else { [B]sConnection = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sFilePath + ";Extended Properties=\"ext;HDR=YES;FMT=CSVDelimited\"";[/B] } OleDbConnection dbCon = new OleDbConnection(sConnection); dbCon.Open(); // Get All Sheets Name DataTable dtSheetName = dbCon.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null); // Retrive the Data by Sheetwise for (int nCount = 0; nCount < 1; nCount++) { string sSheetName = dtSheetName.Rows[nCount]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString(); string sQuery = "Select * From [" + sSheetName + "]"; OleDbCommand dbCmd = new OleDbCommand(sQuery, dbCon); OleDbDataAdapter dbDa = new OleDbDataAdapter(dbCmd); dbDa.Fill(dtData); dsOutput.Tables.Add(dtData.Copy()); } dbCon.Close(); return dsOutput; } i am getting the following error while using the above code while importing .csv file.. the bold line is the connection string where the error is throwing.. base {System.Data.Common.DbException} = {"'C:\\ABCD Calif, CA.CSV' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides."}
Change that error line to:- Code: sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=\"" + dir + "\\\";" + "Extended Properties=\"text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited\"";
