<asp:FileUpload ID=”FileUploadProduct” runat=”server” />
<asp:Button ID=”btnupload” runat=”server” Text=”Upload” OnClick=”btnupload_Click” />
<asp:Label ID=”MsgAlert” runat=”server”></asp:Label>

Bulkupload.aspx.cs

Add these namespaces in C# page:

using System.Data.Common;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
protected void btnupload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if (FileUploadProduct.HasFile)
   {
      try
      {
         string path = string.Concat(Server.MapPath(“~/Excel/” + FileUploadProduct.FileName));
         FileUploadProduct.SaveAs(path);
         string excelConnectionString = string.Format(“Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=Excel 8.0″, path);
         OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection();
         connection.ConnectionString = excelConnectionString;
         OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(“select * from [Sheet1$]”, connection);
         connection.Open();
         DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();
         string sqlConnectionString = @”Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=Wordpress;Integrated Security=True”;
         SqlBulkCopy bulkInsert = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString);
         bulkInsert.DestinationTableName = “tbl_bulkupload”;
         bulkInsert.WriteToServer(dr);
         MsgAlert.Text = “Product uploaded successfully”;
         connection.Close();
      }
      catch (Exception ex)
      {
         MsgAlert.Text = ex.Message;
   }
}
