Import EXCEL with SSIS without knowing sheename - excel

Question

I'm trying to use SSIS to import multiple files from a folder, and i dont know the SheetName.
So, I'm creating a script task according to below link, to get SheetName, but i got error in the script task 'array size cannot be specified in a variable declaration'
http://www.anupamanatarajan.com/2011/01/dynamic-sheet-name-in-ssis-excel.html
public void Main()
{
// TODO: Add your code here
string excelFile = null;
string connectionString = null;
OleDbConnection excelConnection = null;
DataTable tablesInFile = null;
int tableCount = 0;
DataRow tableInFile = null;
string currentTable = null;
int tableIndex = 0;
string[] excelTables = null;
excelFile = Dts.Variables["User::BBGFilePath"].Value.ToString();
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + excelFile + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0";
excelConnection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
excelConnection.Open();
tablesInFile = excelConnection.GetSchema("Tables");
tableCount = tablesInFile.Rows.Count;
excelTables = new string[tableCount];
foreach (DataRow tableInFile_loopVariable in tablesInFile.Rows)
{
tableInFile = tableInFile_loopVariable;
currentTable = tableInFile["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
excelTables[tableIndex] = currentTable;
tableIndex += 1;
}
}
//Provide value to the shetename variable
Dts.Variables["User::SheetName"].Value = excelTables[0];
//Display file name
string strMessage = Dts.Variables["User::BBGFilePath"].Value.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(strMessage);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
So i tried to add the [User:SheetName] variable to the Script task, but it doesn't work.
can anyone please check what is missing?

As I had mentioned earlier, the error does clearly suggested you have some non-declaration statements at the class level which is not valid.
Your code from the script task have some issues with the closing brace --
public void Main()
{
// TODO: Add your code here
string excelFile = null;
string connectionString = null;
OleDbConnection excelConnection = null;
DataTable tablesInFile = null;
int tableCount = 0;
DataRow tableInFile = null;
string currentTable = null;
int tableIndex = 0;
string[] excelTables = null;
excelFile = Dts.Variables["User::BBGFilePath"].Value.ToString();
//Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = C:\CESLtd\ELKAY\Reports\Work2\Book1.xls; Extended Properties = "EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";
connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + excelFile + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0;HDR=YES";
excelConnection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);
excelConnection.Open();
tablesInFile = excelConnection.GetSchema("Tables");
tableCount = tablesInFile.Rows.Count;
excelTables = new string[tableCount];
foreach (DataRow tableInFile_loopVariable in tablesInFile.Rows)
{
tableInFile = tableInFile_loopVariable;
currentTable = tableInFile["TABLE_NAME"].ToString();
excelTables[tableIndex] = currentTable;
tableIndex += 1;
}
//} **commented this line now you are good to go**
//Provide value to the shetename variable
Dts.Variables["User::SheetName"].Value = excelTables[0];
//Display file name
string strMessage = Dts.Variables["User::BBGFilePath"].Value.ToString();
MessageBox.Show(strMessage);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
