Hi everyone,

I have been looking around recently for some codes that would allow me to upload an excel file and import the data into a database table but those that I have found dont seem to work.

Thanks,
Leroy

I tried out this one http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Read-and-Import-Excel-File-into-DataSet-or-DataTable-using-C-and-VBNet-in-ASPNet.aspx and the error I got was The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine

Not a question at all! Not enough details!
What have you tried?
Where are you stuck?
What kind of database?

Try this below code on button import click

C#

protected void btnImport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {         
            if (!FileUpload1.HasFile)
            {
                try
                {
                    string path = string.Concat(Server.MapPath("~/Uploaded Folder/" + FileUpload1.FileName)); 
                    FileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
 
                    // Connection String to Excel Workbook
                    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();
                    // Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
                    DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();
 
                    // SQL Server Connection String
                    string sqlConnectionString = @"Data Source=MYPC;Initial Catalog=Student;User ID=sa;Password=wintellect";
 
                   // Bulk Copy to SQL Server 
                    SqlBulkCopy bulkInsert = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString);
                    bulkInsert.DestinationTableName = "Student_Record";
                    bulkInsert.WriteToServer(dr);
                    Label1.Text = "Ho Gaya";
                }

Catch(Exception ex)
{
         label.text=ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
