Answer 1

Have you tried it as just

string connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\\data\\Proj_Resource Details 20110118.xlsx;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0";

without the []s?

By the way, if you are not escaping anything, just use @

string connString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\data\Proj_Resource Details 20110118.xlsx;Extended Properties=Excel 12.0";
