In this tutorial, you'll learn how to import Excel data into a SQL database using C# and the IronXL library. The process begins by setting up the necessary environment in Visual Studio, including the installation of System.Data.SqlClient and IronXL packages. You'll create a new SQL database and table to store the imported data. The IronXL library is used to load the Excel file, converting it into a dataset for processing. Using SQL commands, the dataset's rows are iteratively inserted into the database table. The tutorial provides a detailed explanation of establishing a connection to the SQL Server, utilizing SQL Data Adapter objects, and executing parameterized SQL commands. By the end of the tutorial, you will have successfully transferred data from an Excel file to a SQL database, with the ability to verify the results by viewing the database table contents. IronXL simplifies handling Excel files in C# applications, making it a versatile tool for data migration tasks. For further exploration and practice, you are encouraged to try out different functionalities of IronXL.
