title: How to convert IExcelDataReader Values to string Datatype
body: <p>I am using below code to read Excel and store in Dataset.</p>
  
  <pre><code>     public DataSet ReadExcelDataToDataSet(Stream fileStream)
              {
                  DataTable dataInExcelSheet = new DataTable();
                  IExcelDataReader excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateReader(fileStream);
                  DataSet excelDataSet = excelReader.AsDataSet(new ExcelDataSetConfiguration()
                  {
                      UseColumnDataType = false
  //Do we have any property here to convert all rows values to string datatype.
                  });
                  excelReader.Close();
                  return excelDataSet;
              }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to convert all values of Excel Sheet to string and store it in Dataset as String values.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Example:</strong></p>
  
  <p>In Excel file, for few columns I have values as 1,22.0 which are of Int32 and Double datatypes. I want to convert these values to string and then store them in Dataset as String.</p>
