My requirement is to read the Excel binary file content into a data table and then process the content further. I am trying to do it using EPPlus library but it is accepting only .XLS or .XLSX files. But it is not taking .XLSB file.
Are there any such dlls where I want to re ad the content of the excel file on the PC where MSOffice is not installed and excel file is not stored in the disk. I.e. without using any Interop.Excel or Office.OLED etc. Any such dlls which are not a trial
version dlls or any code piece is highly appreciable. Please help me to resolve the issue.
Yes I tried that solution but I am looking for a solution where the end user PC doesn't have any Office installed or the excel file should not be saved on the physical drive just as EPPlus works.
EPPlus works fine for .XLS and .XLSX file but it is not reading .XLSB file.. Looking for any other alternative
I think you could try to use LinqToExcel to read xlsb.
You could use following command in Package Manager Console to install it:
Install-Package LinqToExcel -Version 1.11.0
And you could use codes below to read the content:
using (var excelQueryFactory = new ExcelQueryFactory(Server.MapPath("abc.xlsb")))
{
//access your worksheet LINQ way
var worksheet = excelQueryFactory.Worksheet("Sheet1");
}
Best Regards,
Billy

You can use Spire.XLS to read .xlsb files. Spire.XLS is an independent Excel component, it enables user to perform a wide range of excel processing tasks such as create, read, write, convert and print without installing MS Office. It supports .xls, .xlsx,
.xlsb, .xlsm along with .ods file formats.
Thanks for showing me the alternative but I guess Spire.XLS is not a free download. It is paid I guess or we are getting free trial versions which we cannot rely on such type of dlls.
Could you please provide me any website where it is not a free trial.
