Hello,

 There is no such built-in feature however if you parse your excel data and load it in for example our lightweight DataTable you can bind the grid to this.

I think i have got a workaround for this.

from my silverlight page i am sending the uploaded file details to the JQuery in the aspx page where silverlight is embedded. from the JQuery i am making a AJAX call to the ASP.NET page. in the ASP.NET page i am reading the excel file in an XML format and sends back the result to the JQuery and JQuery inturn sends the result to the Silverlight page. The silverlight page then renders the data to my object model class and then renders to the grid.

Please dont forget to mark as answer if you satisfy with the answer.

The above works absolutely fine. please do let me know your suggestions if any.

Thanks,
