As i have 25 columns and out of this some columns have INT data type but when i insert data from the XLS file it may take VARCHAR value also. so it cause error for the convertion.
now i want the name of that column which have error.

Normally, when you cause an SQL exception is is pretty explicit: it either gives you a name:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Invalid column name 'description'

or at a minimum a column reference number.
Look at the exception: if you use Exception.Message you will get a bare-bones version. If you look at Exception.ToString() you will get a more detailed (and mostly stack trace) explanation. Put a breakpoint on the first line of the catch block - you may be able to work it out from there.

The error message is the same: when SQL server encounters an error it feeds the error code and text up to the .NET framework. So if you look at teh message in the SQL server management studio (or whatever you are using) then the text should identify the error, if only by a row and column index in the original text.
