I am trying to connect to an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and import the file to Microsoft SQL 2005 Express Database Server by using the following code:

//Button Button_Insert Event On Click. Action Custom Code @7-2A29BDB7
// -------------------------
// Write your own code here.
// -------------------------
//Establishing Connection to Excel Spreasheet called Book1.xls
string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fileuploads\temp\" + ((MTFileUpload)sender).FileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;'";

using (OleDbConnection excelConnection = new OleDbConnection(excelConnectionString))
{
excelConnection.Open();
//Getting source data
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand ("Select Data FROM [Data$]", excelConnection);
// Initialize SqlBulkCopy object
using (DbDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader())
{
// Copy data to destination
string sqlConnectionString = "Data Source=CCSSWEBS02; Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True";
using (SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(sqlConnectionString))
{
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "Data";
bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("Data", "Data");
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dr);
}
}
//Closing connection
excelConnection.Close();
}
// -------------------------
//End Button Button_Insert Event On Click. Action Custom Code


However, now I am gettig the following error message.

System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'InMotion.Web.Controls.MTButton' to type 'InMotion.Web.Controls.MTFileUpload'.

This error occur because you try use ((MTFileUpload)sender) in onclick button event, where sender is MTButton. If you want use fileupload control that situated in the same form that a button, you can use next expression

FormName.GetControl<MTFileUpload>("FileUploadName").FileName

NickT,
Thanks for assisting me. I need more information on how I can write the expression. I'm not familiar with it. Do you know where I can look?

I am I to replace :

string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fileuploads\temp\" + ((MTFileUpload)sender).FileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;'";

with the following:

string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fileuploads\temp\" + FormName.GetControl<MTFileUpload>("FileUploadName").FileName + ";Extended Properties='Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;'";

Yes, your replacement is correct. Also you must use real name of form and FileUpload control instead "FormName" and "FileUploadName".

According to my HTML code

<form id="NewRecord1" name="{HTMLFormName}" action="{Action}" method="post" enctype="{HTMLFormEnctype}">

<!-- BEGIN FileUpload FileUpload1 --><input id="NewRecord1FileUpload1ControlName" type="hidden" value="{State}" name="{ControlName}">

FormName = HTMLFormName
FileUploadName = NewRecord1FileUpload1ControlName

No, you can use NewRecord1.GetControl<MTFileUpload>("FileUpload1").FileName

Should double hashes '\\' be used instead of single '\'

string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\fileuploads\temp\" + NewRecord1.GetControl<MTFileUpload>("FileUpload1").FileName + ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";


string excelConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\fileuploads\\temp\\" + NewRecord1.GetControl<MTFileUpload>("FileUpload1").FileName + ";Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES;""";
