enhancement request to support data driven from excel

[tk]

Hi

From this link it looks like there is no support to datadrive from
excel sheet.

It is tough to maintain data in csv files. It would be easy to
maintain data in sheets in a single workbook.

Thanks
TK

It should be possible to implement a subclass of DataPatternAttribute or DataAttribute that loads data from a database or Excel spreadsheet.

It shouldn't be too hard, actually.

You could perhaps throw something together based on RowAttribute.cs using OleDbDataAdapter or maybe a third party .Net library for reading Excel spreadsheets.

Don't dismiss [CsvData] out of hand though.  It's pretty powerful.  CSV spreadsheets can be loaded into Excel just like ordinary worksheets.

Jeff.
