Answer 2

I got the answer guys..

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            OpenFileDialog ofImport = new OpenFileDialog();

            ofImport.Title = "Select file";

            ofImport.InitialDirectory = @"c:\";

            ofImport.FileName = openFileDialog1.FileName;

            ofImport.Filter = "Excel Sheet(*.xlsx)|*.xlsx|All Files(*.*)|*.*";

            ofImport.FilterIndex = 1;

            ofImport.RestoreDirectory = true;

            if (ofImport.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

            {

                string path = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(ofImport.FileName);

                string query = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]";

                OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection();

                conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + ofImport.FileName + ";Extended Properties=" + "\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1\"";

                OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(query, conn);

                DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();

                adapter.Fill(dataSet);

                dataGridView1.DataSource = dataSet.Tables[0];

            }

            else

            {

                ofImport.Dispose();
