I have built a small WPF app that will read in XLS or XLSX files and display the contents in a datagrid. I have the XLS side of things working by using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider. I am struggling with the XLSX side of things. I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) and have Office 2010 (64-bit) installed on my machine. I see the version 14 and 12 versions of the OLEDB in my ODBC connections. When I run my connection string it returns an error. I have read through many of the posts without any successful answers, many pointing to the version the app is running which is x86. I have tried both

I've seen a lot of examples for asynchronous when trying to do Web downloading/reading. But I fail to find a sample or anything for OleDb (or is there a better equivalent?), I'd like to use the new and simplified Async and Await features of C# 5.0. This is just an example of how I use OleDb now: public void insertTafelloc(int tafelnr, string datum, string tijd) { tafelsupdate = false; try { db.cmd.Connection = db.connection; db.connection.Open(); db.cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tafels WHERE tafelnr = ? AND datum = ?"; db.cmd.Parameters.Add(new OleDbParameter("1", tafelnr)); db.cmd

I have the following code which is connecting to my database and retrieving some data from a table: string connectionString = "Data Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=myserver;Initial Catalog=Db;Integrated Security=FALSE;user=zh;pwd=zh12;"; using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString)) { connection.Open(); OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(); command.Connection = connection; command.CommandText = "SELECT [Location], [URL], [TAGS] FROM [Db].[dbo].[BOOKINGTABLE]"; command.CommandType = CommandType.Text; using (OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) { menu

I wrote this method to update an excel cell: public void update(string fileName, string sheetName) { string connString = connString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + Server.MapPath(fileName) + ";Extended Properties=Excel 12.0"; try { OleDbConnection oledbConn = new OleDbConnection(connString); oledbConn.Open(); OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("UPDATE ["+sheetName+"$B5:B5] SET F1=17", oledbConn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); oledbConn.Close(); } catch(Exception ex) { Debug.Write("Error: " + ex.Message); } } I called it like this: update("test.xls", "test"); The B5 cell is

I have an application that uses Microsoft ACE OLEDB 12.0 driver and hence I have installed 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components in my system. I also have created SSIS packages to pull data from the excel and csv files which get's inserted into the SQL tables using the Microsoft ACE OLEDB 12.0. Below is my connection string Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\myFolder\myOldExcelFile.xls; Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"; I wanted to move these applications to the server environment for deployment and When I reached out to the IT for getting Office 2007

Closed. This question is off-topic . It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it's on-topic for Stack Overflow. Closed 5 years ago . I'm confused. I'm trying to add a single record into an Access 2000 database using ASP.Net. However, when I try to add new record, I get the following error: Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Operation must use an updateable query. Admittedly, the error message is misleading. The reason for this error message is that the process runs under an identity (usually ASP.NET) that only has read

So I have learned that that the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 data provider for querying data sources like Microsoft Access MDB files and Excel spreadsheets does not work under a Windows 64-bit operating systems. What I am now supposed to use to query against these file types in .NET 3.5 (C#) applications in order to ensure compatibility in both x86 and x64 environments? I have scoured the Internet and I cannot seem to find a straight answer on how to handle this incompatibility. I've also tried using an ODBC provider and a MSDASQL provider with no luck as they seem to throw the same exceptions as

I have tried to make use of linked servers in SQL Server 2008 by doing the following to access a Microsoft Access 2003 Table. EXEC sp_addlinkedserver access1t, 'OLE DB Provider for Jet', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 'C:\tester.mdb' EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin access1t, FALSE, Null, Admin, Null GO CREATE VIEW TI001APCE1265 AS SELECT * FROM access1t...Table1 However, I get the error: OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "access1t" returned message "Unspecified error". Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Procedure TI001APCE1265, Line 1 Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE
