Reading from Excel: Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 error on 64 bit systems

Question

I am reading the contents of an excel sheet in my application using:

 OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(\"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\"         


        

Answer 1

Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB doesn't have 64bit version, only 32bit. Compile your application as 32bit (Platform target: x86 in build option).
