C# Reading Excel file with many rows
<p>I am a newbie to c#, and I am trying to make a simple program that reads all the rows from an excel file, and put them in an array or some other data storage in c#, so I can make manipulations on this data.</p>

<p>what is the best strategy to do so with c#, with large excel files (about 200,000 rows)?</p>

<p>just go line by line from the excel file, copy it to a DataSet in c# and then manipulate the DataSet with loops?</p>

<p>are there any good examples you can point on?</p>

<p>thank you</p>
