Given below is my code in c# of exporting c# with sql server 2008 data to excel report using sql select query:
i have done add reference to Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library.

Given below is my code in c#:
C#:
 using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace DRRS_CSharp
{
    public partial class frmExcelTechnician : Form
    {
        public frmExcelTechnician()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void btnExportToExcel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string FileName = "D:\\Workarea\vishal\\DRRS in CSharp\\DRRS CSharp\\DRRS CSharp\\Technician Details.xltx";
            string SQLQuery = "Select td.Technician_first_name as Technician_First_name,td.Technician_middle_name as Technician_middle_name,td.Technician_last_name as Technician_last_name,t.technician_dob as Technician_date_of_birth,t.technician_sex as Gender,td.technician_type as designation from Techniciandetail td,Technician t where td.technician_id=t.technician_id and td.status=1";
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(SQLQuery, conn);
            da.Fill(ds);
            Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application ExcelApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
            Workbook ExcelWorkBook = null;
            Worksheet ExcelWorkSheet = null;
            ExcelApp.Visible = true;
            ExcelWorkBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Add(XlWBATemplate.xlWBATWorksheet);
            List<string> SheetNames = new List<string>();
            SheetNames.Add("Technician Details");
            try
            {
                for (int i = 1; i < ds.Tables.Count; i++)
                    ExcelWorkBook.Worksheets.Add(); //Adding New sheet in Excel Workbook
                for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables.Count; i++)
                {
                    int r = 1;
                    ExcelWorkSheet = ExcelWorkBook.Worksheets[i + 1];
                    for (int col = 1; col <= ds.Tables[i].Columns.Count; col++)
                        ExcelWorkSheet.Cells[r, col] = ds.Tables[i].Columns[col - 1].ColumnName;
                    r++;

                    for (int row = 0; row < ds.Tables[i].Rows.Count; row++) //r stands for ExcelRow and col for ExcelColumn
                    {
                        // Excel row and column start positions for writing Row=1 and Col=1
                        for (int col = 1; col <= ds.Tables[i].Columns.Count; col++)
                            ExcelWorkSheet.Cells[r, col] = ds.Tables[i].Rows[row][col - 1].ToString();
                        r++;
                    }
                    ExcelWorkSheet.Name = SheetNames[i];//Renaming the ExcelSheets
                }
                ExcelWorkBook.SaveAs("D:\\Workarea\vishal\\DRRS in CSharp\\DRRS CSharp\\Technician.xlsx");
                ExcelWorkBook.Close();

                ExcelApp.Quit();

                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ExcelWorkSheet);

                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ExcelWorkBook);

                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ExcelApp);

            }
            catch (Exception exHandle)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + exHandle.Message);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}
The above code works for generating default excel report. But what i want is the result of sql select query should be placed into columns from from Excel Template named:Technician Details.xltx into excel sheet Technician.xlsx.
As you can see from my code in below line:
C#:
string FileName="D:\\Workarea\vishal\\DRRS in CSharp\\DRRS CSharp\\DRRS CSharp\\Technician Details.xltx";
But what i want is when i execute the program or when i click button1 i
want the sql server data to go their appropriate columns as i have done
the design in excel template named: Technician.

i have an excel template named: Technician Details.xltx in my same
project folder.In the below design Column Header with text: Technician First Name starts at A column 3rd cell
Similarly Column Header with text: Technician Middle Name starts at B column 3rd cell, Column Header with text: Technician Last Name starts at C column 3rd cell, Column Header with text: Date of Birth starts at D column 3rd cell, Column Header with text: Gender starts at E column 3rd cell and Column Header with text: Type starts at F column 3rd cell. My Question is how to place results of sql query into appropriate columns in Excel Sheet/Report from Excel Template?.

My question is how do i fill results of query into appropriate columns from Excel Template into excel report?.

Can anyone help me please? Any help or guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
