If you do not want to use Office Interop then you will have to go find a library that reads Excel files without the Interop.

If you want to read a content of text file, what do you do? You open it. Am i right?

The question is to vague to answer it.

First of all, you can't read MS Excel file without opening it (even if you use third party software), unless... you use ADO.NET query.
