使用Excel文件作为数据源，其实现的代码为：

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("excel.xls") + "; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;

实例代码：

private DataSet CreateDataSource()
    {
        string strCon;
        strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("excel.xls") + "; Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;";
        OleDbConnection olecon = new OleDbConnection(strCon);
        OleDbDataAdapter myda = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", strCon);
        DataSet myds = new DataSet();
        myda.Fill(myds);
        return myds;
    }
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridView1.DataSource = CreateDataSource();
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }
