Iam new to the world of ASP .Net. Right now iam building an application that will IMPORT about 5,000 records from an Excel spreadsheet to a table in MS SQL Server. Right now the code works correctly, but i feel it is not efficient and takes a little bit of more time in doing the import. Could you guys throw some light on how i can make the code run more faster ? Someone suggested me that i can use DataAdapter and update the table in the database thru an update method available with it. I dont know how to do it? Could anyone share with me a snippet of code that does this ?
Here is my code:
Private Sub ProcessRecords()
Dim ds2 As New DataSet
' readExcelSheet is a user-defined function that reads a spreadsheet and returns a DataSet object
ds2 = readExcelSheet("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Project1\Book2.xls", "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]")
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = Connection() ' user-defined function that returns a SQLConnection object
myConnection.Open()
Dim strSQL As String = "insert_member" ' stored procedure that inserts records
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(strSQL, myConnection)
myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@.salutation", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@.firstname", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@.lastname", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
myCommand.Parameters.Add("@.company", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
Dim i, j As Integer
Response.Write(Date.Now() & "<br>")
For i = 0 To ds2.Tables("Members").Rows.Count() - 1
myCommand.Parameters("@.salutation").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("sal")
myCommand.Parameters("@.firstname").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("firstname")
myCommand.Parameters("@.lastname").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("lastname")
myCommand.Parameters("@.company").Value = ds2.Tables("Members").Rows(i).Item("company")
j = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
If (j > 0) Then
Response.Write("Record Inserted - " & i + 1 & "<br>")
End If
Next
Response.Write(Date.Now() & "<br>")
myConnection.Close()
End Sub
Please reply soon.
Thank You.can you show us the readExcelObject class?
i got this unspecified exception when trying to connect to an excel file:

Response.Write(e.ToString() + "<BR>");
}
catch(Exception e)

}
finally
{

}
}|||solved.
