Answer 1

No need to worry about only oledb..there is a lot of other method are used to upload .xlsx files(import).

Here is the header:

using ClosedXML.Excel;

Install ClosedXML.Excel dll from nuget.

Here is the code:

  string filePath = Server.MapPath("~/Content/MailMarketing/") + Path.GetFileName(flexcel.PostedFile.FileName);
        flexcel.SaveAs(filePath);

        //Open the Excel file using ClosedXML.
        using (XLWorkbook workBook = new XLWorkbook(filePath))
        {
            //Read the first Sheet from Excel file.
            IXLWorksheet workSheet = workBook.Worksheet(1);

            //Create a new DataTable.
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            //Loop through the Worksheet rows.
            bool firstRow = true;
            foreach (IXLRow row in workSheet.Rows())
            {
                //Use the first row to add columns to DataTable.
                if (firstRow)
                {
                    foreach (IXLCell cell in row.Cells())
                    {
                        dt.Columns.Add(cell.Value.ToString());
                    }
                    firstRow = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    //Add rows to DataTable.
                    dt.Rows.Add();
                    int i = 0;
                    foreach (IXLCell cell in row.Cells())
                    {
                        dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1][i] = cell.Value.ToString();
                        i++;
                    }
                }
