How to read an .XLSX (Excel 2007) file using ADO.NET? I am finding “Could not find installable ISAM”-error
I need to work in .net 2.0 . So I can't use OpenXML. This is my source code and I have already Installed AccessDatabaseEngine.exe . But still getting the exception: "Could not find installable ISAM". I have also tried "Extended Properties=Excel 8.0" in the connection string. static void Main(string[] args) { DataSet dataSet = new DataSet(); OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=|Data Directory|\HSC.xlsx;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;"); OleDbDataAdapter dataAdapter= new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from [Sheet1$]", connection);
