Hmmm...[reading the fine print] Well, it doesn't say that I can't do that, so...

Well, on 64 bit machine, at the very least, it would be 8 bytes at a time....

Magnificent. Is he sending one byte at time while writing data as well? Must be so much fun uploading huge files to your database.

Will know soon enough when I get to see the writing side. Holding onto a little hope because the other code was written by a different person (who incidentally has left few months ago)

I'm not interested in getting programming answers here, of course, but I could use some guidance on where to look for answers to a programming problem I have at work. As you can imagine, not much useful stuff comes back when I Google for "how do I programmatically export a single worksheet in an Excel workbook to a .csv formatted file without opening Excel?" Lots of responses, of course, but far more chaff than wheat...
That, in a nutshell, is what I want to do, but I really don't want to have to deal with VBA. I'm certain there's something in the .Net world that will allow me to do this with C#, but I haven't a clue anymore where to look. As I've mentioned, I'm trying to automate the process of monitoring our electric utility's efficiency using, as part of the process data, the reports I get from suppliers. As it turns out, the daily emails I receive are worthless, as multiple sources have low precision, and rounding errors are killing me. The only other source is a monthly spreadsheet I receive, but only one sheet of the total package is relevant. On a positive note, this spreadsheet data is all normalized to a common precision and audited for errors. I want to offload this crap to some other sucker in the office, but none of them have enough computer savvy to get it right if I ask them to open the workbook and manually export the useful sheet to the specified folder for processing. I need to make this whole shebang as automatic as possible if it's going to work at all, or I can look forward to doing this mind-numbingly boring task myself for all time to come.
Where should I look to learn to do this task?

Have you looked at Office Interop? I've never tried exporting a worksheet with it before, but I would guess that it's possible. And I know for a fact you can hide the UI (IIRC, you only need to set a flag).
There's also a way (not sure if it is part of interop or not) to treat an Excel document as a database, with each worksheet being a table. I've never worked with it (never needed it, and it seems kinda awkward), so I don't know all the ins and outs. If you're interested, I can see if I can dig up some more info to get you started.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Well, I can't tell you where to look, but I'd tell you how I'd do it and from there you can look up the pieces.
First I'd read the excel sheet into a datareader using OleDB. The sheetname equals the tablename in a database.
Then I'd read every record from the reader into a string array and copy this array into a CSV file using String.join(",",array) (assuming dotnet 4 here)

I had to do something similar a while ago, and found this site[^] (AIRI, it looked even worse, then).
I had to download the office.interop library; I'm not sure you have to, any more.
I do remember it being bloody fiddly and annoying, though, so good luck.

So basically, you do not want to open a spreadsheet once in a month to export its content to a .csv file ?

My mother just got our dogs a large orange ball with a handle. So far, so good. BUT! The ball smells like chocolate doughnuts.  How on Earth.....

It makes you wonder how they make chocolate doughnuts smell like large orange balls, doesn't it?

Forgive me, but I don't think I'll be going round sniffing dogs' balls to see if they smell like doughnuts.
It probably explains a lot about dogs' behaviour, though.

The smell is strong enough that it can be sensed about eight feet away. My mom and I were trying to figure out where my dad was hiding doughnuts when I noticed (while holding the ball) that it smelled like that.
I really want to know WHY the company did that.
