{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private void BrowseBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            FilePathBrowse.Filter = "SIT Files (*.xls) | *.Xls";
            if (FilePathBrowse.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                if (FilePathBrowse.FileName != "")
                    //  FileNamePath.Text = FilePathBrowse.FileName;
                    FilePath.Text = FilePathBrowse.FileName;
            }
        }
     //   const string fileName = @"c:\testing.xls";

        private DataTable dt;
 
        public static string BuildExcelConnectionString(string Filename, bool FirstRowContainsHeaders)
        {
            return string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='{0}';Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR={1};\"",
                                Filename.Replace("'", "''"),
                                FirstRowContainsHeaders ? "Yes" : "No");
        }
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
 

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string fileName = FilePath.Text;
            if (!File.Exists(fileName))
            // if (!File.Exists(FilePathBrowse.FileName))
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Cannot find file");
                return;
            }
 
            string connStr = BuildExcelConnectionString(fileName, true);
            using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connStr))
            {
                conn.Open();
                using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("Select * From [Sheet1$]", conn))
                {
                    using (OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                    {
                        if (dt != null)
                            dt.Dispose();
                        dt = new DataTable();
                        dt.Load(dr);
                    }
                }
            }
 
            //  dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("FilterColumn", typeof(int)));
            //foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
            //{
            //    //   MessageBox.Show("bla");
            //    //  int filterCode = default(int);

            //    //  if (row["Code"] == DBNull.Value)
            //    //    filterCode = -1;
            //    //  else
            //    //  {
            //    //    int code = Convert.ToInt32(row["Code"]);
            //    //    if ((code >= 90) && (code < 100))
            //    //      filterCode = 1;
            //    //    else if ((code >= 100) && (code < 110))
            //    //      filterCode = 2;
            //    //  }

            //    //  row["FilterColumn"] = filterCode;
            //    //}

            //}
            dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
 

 

        }
 
                       
        }
    }
