    <p>I am trying to use an Excel 2007 as a data source in my VS 2008 Test Project a unit test.</p> <p>Config file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt; &lt;configSections&gt; &lt;section name="microsoft.visualstudio.testtools" type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.TestConfigurationSection, Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/&gt; &lt;/configSections&gt; &lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="MyExcelConn" connectionString="Dsn=Excel Files;dbq=SearchTestValues.xlsx;defaultdir=.; driverid=790;maxbuffersize=2048;pagetimeout=5" providerName="System.Data.Odbc" /&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; &lt;microsoft.visualstudio.testtools&gt; &lt;dataSources&gt; &lt;add name="MyExcelDataSource" connectionString="MyExcelConn" dataTableName="Sheet1$" dataAccessMethod="Sequential"/&gt; &lt;/dataSources&gt; &lt;/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>My Test Code:</strong></p> <pre><code>[TestMethod] [DeploymentItem("SearchTestValues.xlsx")] [DataSource("MyExcelDataSource")] public void ShouldReturnResultsValidity() { var minDate = (DateTime)TestContext.DataRow["MinDate"]; var maxDate = (DateTime)TestContext.DataRow["MaxDate"]; var minStatus = (int)TestContext.DataRow["MinStatus"]; var maxStatus = (int)TestContext.DataRow["MaxStatus"]; var criteria = new SearchCriteria(minDate, maxDate, minStatus, maxStatus); Assert.IsTrue(criteria.IsValid()); } </code></pre> <p>The excel file is in the root folder of the project. The file <em>BuildAction</em> is set to Content and <em>Deploy</em> is set to copy if newer. I also added the file to the list of Deployment Items so the excel file is deployed to the out folder of the TestResults folder when the test is run.</p> <p>When I run this test, here is the error I get:</p> <pre><code>The unit test adapter failed to connect to the data source or to read the data. For more information on troubleshooting this error, see "Troubleshooting Data-Driven Unit Tests" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=62412) in the MSDN Library. Error details: ERROR [42S02] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Office Access database engine could not find the object 'Sheet1$'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. </code></pre> <p>Any ideas why I am getting this error?</p> <p>Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
