title: ExcelDataReader for Visual Basic
body: <p>I'm trying to read the values from an excel file's stream, unfortunately, after installing <code>ExcelDataReader</code> and <code>ExcelDataReader.DataSet</code> from NuGet packages, I can't create the class <code>IExcelDataReader</code>. It doesn't read the Import neither.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Imports System.IO
  Imports ExcelDataReader
  Public Class ExcelMng
      Public Function Values_GET(stream As Stream)
          Dim reader As IExcelDataReader
      End Function
  End Class
  </code></pre>

  <li>Restarting the project.</li>
