By the sample: transforming an excel file into a csv file :

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

using ExcelSax;

namespace ExcelBySax {
    class Program {
        static void Main(string[] args) {
                                    
            // ================================================================
            // tests d'intégration de ExcelSax
            // ----------------------------------------------------------------
            try {
                String fileName = args[0];
                String sheetName = args[1];
                Console.WriteLine("lecture de {0} {1}", fileName, sheetName);

                DateTime t0 = DateTime.Now;
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(5000);
                using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("dest.csv")) {
                    using (ExcelSaxConnection esc = new ExcelSaxConnection(fileName)) {
                        foreach (ExcelSax.Sheet s in esc.Sheets) {
                            Console.WriteLine("{0}", s.Name);
                        }
                        using (ExcelSaxDataReader esdr = esc.GetReaderForSheet(sheetName)) {
                            while (esdr.Read()) {

                                sb.Clear();
                                foreach (var o in esdr) {
                                    sb.AppendFormat("{0};", o);
                                }
                                sw.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
                            }
                            Console.WriteLine("bilan temps total {0}", DateTime.Now.Subtract(t0).TotalSeconds);
                        }
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                while (ex != null) {
                    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                    ex = ex.InnerException;
                }
