Problem in getting the data from excel to a dataset

hello experts,

I am using the below code to export excel 2007 to dataset.
but i am getting the below error :
The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'.
Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

where it is going wrong ??? please help

urgent.. thanks.

string Filetype = FileUpload1.PostedFile.ContentType.ToString();
            if (Filetype == "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet")
            {
                strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + strFilename + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;\"";
 
                OleDbDataAdapter myOleDbDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", strConn);
                DataSet ExcelDataSet = new DataSet();
                myOleDbDataAdapter.Fill(ExcelDataSet, "[Sheet1$]");
 
                myOleDbDataAdapter = null;
 
                return ExcelDataSet; 
            }
