How to Insert Rows to Table Object Inside an Excel Sheet?

I have difficulties trying to insert rows into an existing table object. Here is my code snippet:
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + #"C:\myExcelFile.xlsx" + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;ReadOnly=False;HDR=Yes;\"";
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
conn.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
string insertQuery = String.Format("Insert into [{0}$] (ID, Title,NTV_DB, Type ) values(7959, 8,'e','Type1')", TabDisplayName);
cmd.CommandText = insertQuery;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd = null;
conn.Close();
}
As a result I get my rows inserted below a ready-made table object:
I've also tried inserting data inside a table object like so:
string insertQuery = String.Format("Insert into [{0}$].[MyTable] (ID, Title,NTV_DB, Type ) values(7959, 8,'e','Type1')", TabDisplayName);
But I get an error:
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'MyTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. If 'MyTable' is not a local object, check your network connection or contact the server administrator.
As you can see, table with a name MyTable does exist. I would be very grateful if someone can shed some light on this mystery.

If you are using the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider, then be aware that it doesn't support a named range. You need to provide the name of the sheet [Sheet1$] or the name of the sheet followed by the range [Sheet1$A1:P7928].
If the range is not provided, it will then define the table as the used range, which may contains empty rows.
One way to deal with empty rows would be to delete them, but the driver doesn't support the DELETE operation.
Another way is to first count the number of rows with a non empty Id and then use the result to define the range of the table for the INSERT statement:
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString)) {
conn.Open();
string SheetName = "Sheet1";
string TableRange = "A1:P{0}";
// count the number of non empty rows
using (var cmd1 = new OleDbCommand(null, conn)) {
cmd1.CommandText = String.Format(
"SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [{0}$] WHERE ID IS NOT NULL;"
, SheetName);
TableRange = string.Format(TableRange, (int)cmd1.ExecuteScalar() + 1);
}
// insert a new record
using (var cmd2 = new OleDbCommand(null, conn)) {
cmd2.CommandText = String.Format(
"INSERT INTO [{0}${1}] (ID, Title, NTV_DB, Type) VALUES(7959, 8,'e','Type1');"
, SheetName, TableRange);
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}

If you execute this code:
var contents = new DataTable();
using (OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(string.Format("Select * From [{0}$]", TabDisplayName), conn))
{
adapter.Fill(contents);
}
Console.WriteLine(contents.Rows.Count);//7938
you will see 7938 (last row number on your screenshot). And when you insert new row, it inserted at 7939 position. Empty content in (7929, 7930, ...) rows are ignored, because excel knows that last number is 7938.
Solutions:
You must delete all rows after 7928 in excel file.
You must insert on specific position.

I'm not sure Access C# works the same as Excel, but this worked on a spreadsheet for me. Maybe it could help you?
Table3.ListRows[1].Range.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown);

Try this
private void GetExcelSheets(string FilePath, string Extension, string isHDR)
{
string conStr="";
switch (Extension)
{
case ".xls": //Excel 97-03
conStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Excel03ConString"]
.ConnectionString;
break;
case ".xlsx": //Excel 07
conStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Excel07ConString"]
.ConnectionString;
break;
}
//Get the Sheets in Excel WorkBoo
conStr = String.Format(conStr, FilePath, isHDR);
OleDbConnection connExcel = new OleDbConnection(conStr);
OleDbCommand cmdExcel = new OleDbCommand();
OleDbDataAdapter oda = new OleDbDataAdapter();
cmdExcel.Connection = connExcel;
connExcel.Open();
//Bind the Sheets to DropDownList
ddlSheets.Items.Clear();
ddlSheets.Items.Add(new ListItem("--Select Sheet--", ""));
ddlSheets.DataSource=connExcel
.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, null);
ddlSheets.DataTextField = "TABLE_NAME";
ddlSheets.DataValueField = "TABLE_NAME";
ddlSheets.DataBind();
connExcel.Close();
txtTable.Text = "";
lblFileName.Text = Path.GetFileName(FilePath);
Panel2.Visible = true;
Panel1.Visible = false;
}

Getting Error while trying to update record in Ms Access 2007 using c#

Trying update record dont know why i am getting error
Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: No value given for one or more required parameters.
this is my code please guide me.
public static string lasttable;
public static string newtable;
newtable = "c" + cont.ToString();
lasttable = input;
string connectionString = #"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\AGENTJ.AGENTJ-PC\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\mfaridalam\App_Data\mfaridalam1.accdb; Persist Security Info=False;";
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
conn.Open();
string query = "UPDATE [LastInfo] SET [LastAlbum]=#newtable WHERE [LastAlbum]=#lasttable";
OleDbCommand comd = new OleDbCommand();
comd.Parameters.Add("#LastAlbum", OleDbType.VarChar);
comd.Parameters["#LastAlbum"].Value = newtable;
comd.CommandText = query;
comd.Connection = conn;
comd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();

You are using OleDb and OleDb doesn't care about parameter names.
However you need to add a parameter for every placeholder present in the command text and in the same order in which they appear.
You have two parameter (#newtable and #lasttable) but you add just one parameter (and you name it wrongly, but, as I have said, that doesn't matter for OleDb).
You need to add the second parameter #lasttable
string connectionString = #"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\AGENTJ.AGENTJ-PC\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\mfaridalam\App_Data\mfaridalam1.accdb; Persist Security Info=False;";
using(OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
conn.Open();
string query = "UPDATE [LastInfo] SET [LastAlbum]=#newtable WHERE [LastAlbum]=#lasttable";
OleDbCommand comd = new OleDbCommand();
comd.Parameters.Add("#newTable", OleDbType.VarChar);
comd.Parameters["#newTable"].Value = newtable;
comd.Parameters.Add("#lastTable", OleDbType.VarChar);
comd.Parameters["#lastTable"].Value = lasttable;
comd.CommandText = query;
comd.Connection = conn;
comd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Executing query by reading from excel cell

Usually, we connect to an Oracle DB through C# and then execute queries through C#. But, I have an excel sheet. In that excel sheet, under F cell, I write my query in a cell. I have stored the value of this cell as strParam1. Declaration is as follows:
String strParam1 = Convert.ToString(xlRange.Cells[row, 6].Value);
I wish my program to read that cell and execute whatever query is written under that cell i.e. I want my code to read strParam1 and execute the query. How is fetching and executing query statements done using excel sheet here?
Posting my code
public void UpdateDatabase()
{
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection conn = new System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.5.144)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)));UID=mwm;PWD=mwm";
conn.Open();
OracleCommand command = conn.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "Select * from \"Task\"";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command.Dispose();
}

If I've understood your question, which seems so simple that I think I've not, this is all you're trying to do
public void UpdateDatabase()
{
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection conn = new System.Data.OracleClient.OracleConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.5.144)(PORT = 1521))(CONNECT_DATA =(SERVER = DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)));UID=mwm;PWD=mwm";
conn.Open();
OracleCommand command = conn.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = strParam1;
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command.Dispose();
}

asp.net mvc c# sqkbulkcopy No Value given for one or more required parameter

i am having this error No Value given for one or more required parameter
what might be the reason for the error. here is the code
string excelConnectionString = #"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + postdir + newFileNameOnServer + "; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0";
using (OleDbConnection connection =new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand("Select Month,Year,CountryofExport,CountryofOrigin,Hs_code,quantity,Unit,CustomValue,Type FROM [qryTradeFlowforWeb$]", connection);
connection.Open();
// Create DbDataReader to Data Worksheet
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader()) // the error coming here
{
string sqlConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["KMFConnectionString"].ToString();
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(sqlConnectionString);
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "ExcelData";
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
}

Compare the destinatin table clolum list is identical with the source table column list. if not map the source and destination colum details using
bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceCol", "DestinationCol1");
bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceCo2", "DestinationCol2");
bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceCo3", "DestinationCol3");

How do I connect to a database and loop over a recordset in C#?

What's the simplest way to connect and query a database for a set of records in C#?

#Goyuix -- that's excellent for something written from memory.
tested it here -- found the connection wasn't opened. Otherwise very nice.
using System.Data.OleDb;
...
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=yourServername\\yourInstance;Initial Catalog=databaseName;Integrated Security=SSPI;";
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
conn.Open();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from yourTable";
using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(dr["columnName"]);
}
}
}
}

Very roughly and from memory since I don't have code on this laptop:
using (OleDBConnection conn = new OleDbConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = "Whatever connection string";
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand())
{
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "Select * from CoolTable";
using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (dr.Read())
{
// do something like Console.WriteLine(dr["column name"] as String);
}
}
}
}

That's definitely a good way to do it. But you if you happen to be using a database that supports LINQ to SQL, it can be a lot more fun. It can look something like this:
MyDB db = new MyDB("Data Source=...");
var q = from db.MyTable
select c;
foreach (var c in q)
Console.WriteLine(c.MyField.ToString());

This is an alternative way (DataReader is faster than this one):
string s = "";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Server=192.168.1.1;Database=master;Connect Timeout=30;User ID=foobar;Password=raboof;");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT TOP 5 name, dbid FROM sysdatabases", conn);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dt);
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
s += dt.Rows[i]["name"].ToString() + " -- " + dt.Rows[i]["dbid"].ToString() + "\n";
}
MessageBox.Show(s);

If you are intending on reading a large number of columns or records it's also worth caching the ordinals and accessing the strongly-typed methods, e.g.
using (DbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()) {
if (dr.Read()) {
int idxColumnName = dr.GetOrdinal("columnName");
int idxSomethingElse = dr.GetOrdinal("somethingElse");
do {
Console.WriteLine(dr.GetString(idxColumnName));
Console.WriteLine(dr.GetInt32(idxSomethingElse));
} while (dr.Read());
}
}

If you are querying a SQL Server database (Version 7 and up) you should replace the OleDb classes with corresponding classes in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace (SqlConnection, SqlCommand and SqlDataReader) as those classes have been optimized to work with SQL Server.
Another thing to note is that you should 'never' select all as this might lead to unexpected results later on if you add or remove columns to this table.

I guess, you can try entity framework.
using (SchoolDBEntities ctx = new SchoolDBEntities())
{
IList<Course> courseList = ctx.GetCoursesByStudentId(1).ToList<Course>();
//do something with courselist here
}

Charge the libraries
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
This is the connection:
public static MySqlConnection obtenerconexion()
{
string server = "Server";
string database = "Name_Database";
string Uid = "User";
string pwd = "Password";
MySqlConnection conect = new MySqlConnection("server = " + server + ";" + "database =" + database + ";" + "Uid =" + Uid + ";" + "pwd=" + pwd + ";");
try
{
conect.Open();
return conect;
}
catch (Exception)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error. Ask the administrator", "An error has occurred while trying to connect to the system", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return conect;
}
}
