Dear All,

Please have a look at the following code which I am using to import csv file into a sql table:

C#

string Filepath = Server.MapPath("Documents") + "\\" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("dd_MM_yyyy_mm_ss_") + fupFile.FileName;
                        fupFile.SaveAs(Filepath);
                        if (FileExt == ".xls")
                        {
                            sExcelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + Filepath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;\"";
                        }
                        else if (FileExt == ".xlsx")
                        {
                            sExcelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + Filepath + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;\"";
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            sExcelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + Filepath + ";Extended Properties=\"text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited\"";
                        }

Here,I am able to import .xls and .xlsx. But, when I try to import .csv file, its giving an error. I tried searching in google for the solution, but not getting the suitable solution.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Solution 2

Try using a "text" connection string such as

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\csvfolder\;Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited";
