Hi, I have hit a problem in WCF Silverlight which I cannot solve.
My problem is:
Is it possible to directly read and extract data out of a excel file directly without using OleDB connection and Microsoft office libraries. If there is a way please show me how to do it(in code please), as I have been stuck for weeks.
Thanks in advance.
Regard,
Max

You could use COM interop. This would mean though that you will need to run the application as an out of browser one - http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=576[^].

If the program cannot run as an out of browser one, then how can that be achieved?
