    I'm guessing that SQL Server has some built-in tools to do that, but if you want to interact with Excel from VB.NET then you have too choices: ADO.NET or automation.  ADO.NET is easier but automation gives you more power.  A search on MSDN will give you information on both.

    u mean in ado.net


    we must import data from exel to dataset first
    after that  we insert  to the ms sql server one record by one record, that is right?

    You call Fill on a DataAdapter to get the data from Excel and Update on a DataAdapter to send the data to SQL Server.  Obviously there is some other code to set the scene but they're the two that do the work.  You can even use a single OleDbDataAdapter because SQL Server has an OLEDB provider, although you'd need a different OleDbConnection for the SelectCommand and the InsertCommand as they would be using different data sources.

    this is code  but this use 2 oledbdataadapter?


    acroding u say we can just u onw oledbdataadapter can u show me how ?

    Code:
    Dim myAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]" myExcelConnection)


    myAdapter.InsertCommand = New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO sa (SecurityCode, Qty, TotalAmt) VALUES (@SecurityCode, @Qty, @TotalAmt)", mySQLServerConnection)
    myAdapter.AcceptChangesDuringFill = False


    Dim myTable As New DataTable


    myAdapter.Fill(myTable)
    myAdapter.Update(myTable)

    I've glossed over a few details here, like the creation of the connections and the addition of the parameters, but you get the idea.  I'm assuming that your Excel sheet follows the same schema as your database table.  If that's not the case then you'll need to do a bit more work.  Notice also that I set the AcceptChangesDuringFill property to False.  That is critical because it ensures that all the rows in the DataTable have their RowState left as Added and therefore the InsertCommand has new rows to insert.  If you don't include that then the call to Fill will implicitly call AcceptChanges and all your rows will be set to Unchanged, meaning that they will not be inserted when you call Update.

    ADO.NET is a data access technology, so it allows you to retrieve and update data.  You can use the functionality of SQL to do some clever things easily, but basically its data in and data out.  Automation gives you full access to the Excel object model, so you can do virtually anything that you can in the Excel GUI.
