Reading data from excel 2010 using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Question

I am not able to read data in Excel. Here is the code I am using: ``` using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel; Excel.Application xlApp = new Excel.Application(); Excel.Workbook xlWorkbook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(@"Book1.xlsx", 0, true, 5, "", "", true, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "	", false, false, 0, true, 1, 0); Excel._Worksheet xlWorksheet = (Excel._Worksheet)xlWorkbook.Sheets[1]; Excel.Range xlRange = xlWorksheet.UsedRange; int rowCount = xlRange.Rows.Count; int colCount = xlRange.Columns.Count; for (int i = 1; i <= rowCount; i++) { for (int j = 1; j <= colCount; j++) { MessageBox.Show(xlWorksheet.Cells[i,j].ToString()); } } ``` I get a message box that says something about `System.__ComObject` instead of a value. How can I fix this?

Accepted Answer

I found the solution for above, here is the code:

```
string temp = (string)(xlRange.Cells[i, j] as Excel.Range).Value2;
MessageBox.Show(temp);
```
