Hello ,

I have implemented import from excel functionality in my application.

My need is to save formatted data from excel column into database.
Ex it the column value contains string as "formatted String is here. "

Then is saves in database as it is with formatting.

I am reading columns from excel sheet as

C#

foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
           {
               excelSheets[i] = row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
               i++;
           }

C#

if (excelSheets.Length > 0)
           {
               command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [" + Convert.ToString(excelSheets[0]) + "]";
               command.Connection = Obj_OleDbConnection;
           }

and set value of OleDbConnections in string as

string str_value=Obj_OleDbConnection[0];

and insert this str_value in databse.

Please suggest me how can i insert record in database same formatted as in excel sheet.

Thanks in advance

Databases do not store such information as Font, fontweight etc, they just store the value of the string. If you want to persist such items, then you need to create tables in your database something like this

SQL

Table Values
valueID (int)
value (varChar(45))
valueFontID (int)
valueFontWeightID (int)
valueFontSize (int)

  Table ValueFonts
FontID
FontName

  Table FontWeights
FontWeightID (int)
FontWeightStyle (int)

Hope this helps
