here is the code to read data from excel file and load it in gridview control app = new Excel.ApplicationClass(); String filename = "D:\Test.xls"; Excel.WorkbookClass workbook = (Excel.WorkbookClass)app.Workbooks.Open(filename, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing); Excel.Sheets excelSheets = workbook.Worksheets; Excel.Worksheet excelWorksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)excelSheets.get_Item(1); Excel.Range excelCell = (Excel.Range)excelWorksheet.get_Range("A1", "c29"); DataTable dt = new DataTable("Expense"); dt.Columns.Add("Date", Type.GetType("System.String")); dt.Columns.Add("Item", Type.GetType("System.String")); dt.Columns.Add("Price", Type.GetType("System.String")); for (int i = 2; i { DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["Date"] = ((Excel.Range)excelCell.Cells[i, 1]).Value2.ToString(); dr["Item"] = ((Excel.Range)excelCell.Cells[i, 2]).Value2.ToString(); dr["Price"] = ((Excel.Range)excelCell.Cells[i, 3]).Value2.ToString(); dt.Rows.Add(dr); } gv.DataSource = dt;

Use ADO.NET to connect to the Excel DataSheet. You can define the connection string datasource to the path of excel file and read in the same way as DB table.
