Uploading data from an excel file (ASP.NET)

Hi,

I’ve developed a web application using Interop.Excel to basically extract data from an uploaded excel file. Everything works fine until I deploy the app on my hosting server.

And, just found out from Microsoft that it’s not a good practice since Microsoft Office simply wasn’t designed to for server-side automation.

My question is, what is the alternative at the moment to extract data from an excel file? Is there a 3rd party library that I can use at a minimal cost?

Thanks all.
