ASP.net mvc 5 excel data reader

Question

I'm doing the following

    var stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
    IExcelDataReader reader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateOpenXmlReader(stream);

however, i get the error on the second line saying

"Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error CS0266 Cannot implicitly convert type 'Excel.IExcelDataReader' to 'Assignment9.Controllers.IExcelDataReader'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)"

I have added install-package exceldatareader, etc.

From the details of the exception you have another type with the same name in the Assignment9.Controllers namespace . Check your project (probably the Assignment9/Controllers folder) to see if you created another IExcelDataReader that is causing the conflict. The assumption here is that Excel.ExcelReaderFactory.CreateOpenXmlReader actually returns Excel.IExcelDataReader
