Try this System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection ExcelConnection = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\your_path\Import_List.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"); ExcelConnection.Open(); string expr = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"; OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand(expr, ExcelConnection); OleDbDataReader objDR = null; SqlConnection SQLconn = new SqlConnection(); string ConnString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=your_dbname;Trusted_Connection=True;"; SQLconn.ConnectionString = ConnString; SQLconn.Open(); using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(SQLconn)) { bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "your-table-name"; try { objDR = objCmdSelect.ExecuteReader(); bulkCopy.WriteToServer(objDR); ExcelConnection.Close(); SQLconn.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); }
