You are mixing up 2 methods of interacting with Excel. You can use the Excel.Application object, or you can use ADO.Net.

What is it you are trying to do?

Is there a good reason why you want to use ADO.NET instead of going straight to Excel as you could do by using your wSheet variable with stuff such as wSheet.Cells(3,5).Value?

Reason for using ADO.NET is want to assign the cell values to data reader object.
