I am using this code to retrieve the receipient name and receipient number but the recpt.receipient_name and recpt.receipient_number are null.

//select names from the excel file with specified sheet name
                        var receipients = from n in messages.Worksheet<BulkSmsModel>(sheetName)
                                    select n;


                        foreach (var recpt in receipients)
                        {

                            BulkSms newRecpt = new BulkSms();
                            if (recpt.receipient_number.Equals("") == true || recpt.receipient_number == 0)
                            {
                                continue;
                            }
                            newRecpt.receipient_name = recpt.receipient_name;
                            newRecpt.receipient_number = Int32.Parse(recpt.receipient_number.ToString());

                            IBsmsRepo.insertReceipient(newRecpt);
                            IBsmsRepo.save();
                        }
