Read an excel column in windows forms and write the value to a textbox

Question

I need to search for a country name in an excel file and assing those values for multiple textboxes. For example:

Afghanistan | +4 | AF | Kabul.

When the user searches for the country name, the form will display the timezone (+4), Country Code (AF), the name (Afghanistan) and the capital city (Kabul) in 4 different textboxes.

What I have tried:

So far I managed to find the location of the searched country, so if the user searches for "Afghanistan" I can locate the position (column A, row 1), but I have no clue about how to read that value and the rows next to it to assign it to the multiple textboxes

That makes no sense to me. If you can find what you are looking for in the file, then you know how to read it. So you are saying that you can't read some data that you have already read?

What are you using to read the excel file? Every library/framework does it a little differently.

if you can read country please post the code you've used to read it
