I have an MVC web application that allows user to upload an Excel files to Azure cloud storage, and then the application uses that Azure-stored Excel blob file to import data into SQL Server.
I follow the sites http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/752981/Import-Data-from-Excel-File-to-Database-Table-in-A
and
Upload Excel File and Extract Data from it and put that data in database using MVC asp.net
to do my application. However, the example from the site http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/752981/Import-Data-from-Excel-File-to-Database-Table-in-A lets users upload file to web server where application is deployed not Azure storage , and the contents of "fileLocation" variable (please see the below codes) looks like (relative to web-server-hosted application path C or whatever drive) "C:\\MyWebApplicationFolder\\MyApplicatioName\\Content\\Excel_blob.xlsx"
My question : for Azure storage Excel blob files, how can I specify the value of "fileLocation" and "excelConnectionString" variables? Please see my code comments starting with phrase "// *** How can I can do this with Azure storage codes?" below.
Codes from http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/752981/Import-Data-from-Excel-File-to-Database-Table-in-A
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
if (Request.Files["file"].ContentLength > 0)
{
string fileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(Request.Files["file"].FileName);
if (fileExtension == ".xls" || fileExtension == ".xlsx")
{
string fileLocation = Server.MapPath("~/Content/") + Request.Files["file"].FileName; // *** How can I can do this with Azure storage codes?
if (System.IO.File.Exists(fileLocation))
{
System.IO.File.Delete(fileLocation);
}
Request.Files["file"].SaveAs(fileLocation);
string excelConnectionString = string.Empty;
excelConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileLocation + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2\""; // *** How can I can do this with Azure storage codes?
//connection String for xls file format.
if (fileExtension == ".xls")
{
excelConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + fileLocation + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2\""; // *** How can I can do this with Azure storage codes?
}
//connection String for xlsx file format.
else if (fileExtension == ".xlsx")
{
excelConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + fileLocation + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=2\""; // *** How can I can do this with Azure storage codes?

Maybe you can download blob file from Azure to your server disk first and then import it to your db. You can download the full project here .
Downloading:
container.CreateIfNotExists();
CloudBlockBlob blob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(excelName);
blob.DownloadToFile(filePath, FileMode.Create);
Read the file to data table:
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (SpreadsheetDocument spreadSheetDocument = SpreadsheetDocument.Open(filePath, false))
{
//Get sheet data
WorkbookPart workbookPart = spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart;
IEnumerable<Sheet> sheets = spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart.Workbook.GetFirstChild<Sheets>().Elements<Sheet>();
string relationshipId = sheets.First().Id.Value;
WorksheetPart worksheetPart = (WorksheetPart)spreadSheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartById(relationshipId);
Worksheet workSheet = worksheetPart.Worksheet;
SheetData sheetData = workSheet.GetFirstChild<SheetData>();
IEnumerable<Row> rows = sheetData.Descendants<Row>();
// Set columns
foreach (Cell cell in rows.ElementAt(0))
{
dt.Columns.Add(cell.CellValue.InnerXml);
}
//Write data to datatable
foreach (Row row in rows.Skip(1))
{
DataRow newRow = dt.NewRow();
for (int i = 0; i < row.Descendants<Cell>().Count(); i++)
{
if (row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i).CellValue != null)
{
newRow[i] = row.Descendants<Cell>().ElementAt(i).CellValue.InnerXml;
}
else
{
newRow[i] = DBNull.Value;
}
}
dt.Rows.Add(newRow);
}
}
Use bulk copy to insert the data to db
//Bulk copy datatable to DB
SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(connectionStr);
try
{
columns.ForEach(col => { bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add(col, col); });
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = tableName;
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(dt);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
bulkCopy.Close();
}
