Hello

how to load data into datagridview from excel and insert it to db from datagridview

this is my code for load data from excel file

select excel sheet code

C#
private void btnselect_file_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          OpenFileDialog _objdlg = new OpenFileDialog();
          DialogResult _objdlgresult = _objdlg.ShowDialog();
          if (_objdlgresult == DialogResult.OK)
          {
              textBox_filename.Text = _objdlg.FileName;
          }
          GetExcelSheetNames(textBox_filename.Text);
      }


GetExcelSheetNames Void

C#
public void GetExcelSheetNames(string path)
     {
         List<string> sheets = new List<string>();
         string connectionString =
             String.Format(
                 @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;""",
                 path);
         DbProviderFactory factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.OleDb");
         DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection();
         connection.ConnectionString = connectionString;
         connection.Open();
         DataTable tbl = connection.GetSchema("Tables");
         connection.Close();
         foreach (DataRow row in tbl.Rows)
         {
             string sheetName = (string) row["TABLE_NAME"];
             if (sheetName.EndsWith("$"))
             {
                 sheetName = sheetName.Substring(0, sheetName.Length - 1);
             }
             sheets.Add(sheetName);
         }
         /*Bind data to listbox*/
         combo_sheetname.DataSource = sheets;
     }


load the selected sheet into datagridview

C#
private void btnsload_file_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    String name = "Items";
    String constr = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + textBox_filename.Text +
                    ";Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=YES;';";

    OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(constr);
    OleDbCommand oconn = new OleDbCommand("Select * From [" + combo_sheetname.Text + "$]", con);
    con.Open();

    OleDbDataAdapter sda = new OleDbDataAdapter(oconn);
    DataTable data = new DataTable();
    sda.Fill(data);
    dataGridView1.DataSource = data;
}

and this is my code to insert the data from datagridview into db

C#
private void btn_savefromexcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {

           SqlConnection cne =
               new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["payroll"].ConnectionString);
           for (int i = 0; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
           {
               SqlCommand cmdz =new SqlCommand(@"INSERT INTO WPS_data (emp_id,emp_QID,emp_visa_ID,emp_name,bank_short_name,bank_account_number, salary_frequency, working_days, net_salary, basic_salary, extra_hours, extra_income, Deductions, Payment_Type, Comments) VALUES ("
                                  + dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value.ToString() + ", " +

                                  + dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[12].Value.ToString() + ", " +
                                  dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[13].Value.ToString() + " ," +
                                  dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[14].Value.ToString() + ");", cne);
               cmdz.Connection = cne;
               cmdz.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
               cne.Open();
               cmdz.ExecuteScalar();
               cne.Close();
               MessageBox.Show(@"Insert New Data ", @"New Data Has Been Imported Successfully !",
                   MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

Best to use a parameterised sql command rather than build a command string.

If you must build a string then normally a non-numeric field's data is enclosed in single quote and you do not have any anywhere for example:

VALUES ('"+ dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value.ToString() + "','" +
dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[1].Value.ToString() + "','" ...etc.

Assuming the two fields above are string.

omg yes this was the thing that prevent from insert but after insert i faced this error

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Payroll Operations.exe

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

and please add a solution to accept it

You do not verify that any of the fields in the datagridview1's rows actually contain data, one of them obviously does not.

Debug and run the query in the backend (sql server studio).
You will get a better idea about what could be wrong with the query.
