Problem

when selecting data from excel sheet and columns name different give error .

so that i need to change my code to accept any alias to columns .

example

in my code column UnitCode represent 'رقم الاستماره'

I need it if he write another name accept without exception as 'الاستماره'

my Code Below :

public DataTable Showdataprint()
        {
            string connectionString = string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1\";", txtpath.Text);

            OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);


            con.Open();
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            dt = con.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null);

            string SheetName = dt.Rows[0]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();


            OleDbCommand com = new OleDbCommand();
            com.Connection = con;
            //com.CommandText = @"SELECT  CStr([رقم الاستمارة]) as [UnitCode],[قراءة العداد]as[CurrentMeterReading] FROM  [" + SheetName + "] ";
            com.CommandText = @"SELECT  [رقم الاستمارة] as [UnitCode],[رقم العدا د]as[CounterNumber],[قراءة العداد]as[CurrentMeterReading] FROM  [" + SheetName + "] ";
            OleDbDataAdapter oledbda = new OleDbDataAdapter();
            oledbda.SelectCommand = com;
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            oledbda.Fill(ds);
            dt = ds.Tables[0];
            con.Close();
            return dt;


        }

Are your columns always in the same order?

If not, I don't see how you can identify which column is which if the user doesn't provide a consistent column header.
