So I found a useful Package to read excel files easily. No more cumbersome codes needed.

I have written post on How to read Excel file in c# in here . But lot of codes.

So I found ExcelDataReader package in github.

Excel Data Reader

It is awesome.

Just few lines of codes to read files as below.

string filePath = "Book1.xlsx";
FileStream stream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

IExcelDataReader excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateOpenXmlReader(stream);

excelReader.IsFirstRowAsColumnNames = true;
DataSet result = excelReader.AsDataSet();

excelReader.Close();

done.
