Default Import Excel data with .NET

Hi

Before I start coding I need to be sure that nobody else has not done it yet
and that I can use it.

I need an import utility which import data from Excel to a database or some
object in .NET. The data in Excel is not in structured columns but can exist
everywhere in the workbook. For example if I am supposed to import a person
and all his/her cars which exist in a workbook I want to be able to create an
import protocol and specify that the first name exist in cell Sheet1!C4, the
last name in Sheet1!F4, telephone in Sheet1!E10 and all cars in in column
Sheet2!B4. The resulting table to a database could look something like this

Agnes|Carlsson|123456|Subaru
Agnes|Carlsson|123456|Volvo
Agnes|Carlsson|123456|Ford

Are their any Open Source projects, Frameworks and/or components which I can
use or have a look at?

Regards
/Niklas
