//try to find out in the following way

 OleDbConnection Con = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C://Documents and Settings//Admin//My Documents//Downloads//MyReport2.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;");
            Con.Open();
            OleDbCommand Cmd = new OleDbCommand("Select * from [Sheet1$]", Con);
            OleDbDataAdapter dt = new OleDbDataAdapter(Cmd);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            dt.Fill(ds);
            Con.Close();


//Or you can try this 

OleDbConnection Con = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\MyReport1.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;"

Solution 2

If this is window application then

keep ur excel in debug folder

and
correct ur path as

C#

string excelFilePath = ".\\sunny.xlsx";

If this is web application
then u can use Server.Mappath()

Solution 3

I think @Ashishmau suggestion should work.

to confirm you can try

excelOledbConObj.Open();

after setting connectionstring property.
