you can use given method to get all the sheetnames from an excel file using oledb

public string[] GetSheetNamesForExcel(string filename)
        {
            System.Data.DataTable dt = GetDataTable(filename, OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables);
            String[] excelSheets = null;
            try
            {
                if (dt != null)
                {
                    excelSheets = new String[dt.Rows.Count];
                    for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
                    {
                        DataRow row = dt.Rows[i];

                        string name = row["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
                        name = name.Replace("'", String.Empty);
                        name = name.Replace("$", String.Empty);
                        excelSheets[i] = name;
                    }
                    dt.Dispose();
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
