Can I find some open source library for accessing (reading only is ok) OLE Storage like doc or xls files in c#?
You can use my open source (MPL) library OpenMCDF for a 100% .net implementation of COM structured storage. A sample COM structured storage file viewer is also available as a usage sample of the library.
An excellent article describes the usage.
COM structured storage from .NET
OleDbConnection can handle structured storage as long as the appropriate OLE DB driver is installed on the machine your app is running on.
Excel:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\myFolder\myExcel2007file.xlsx;
Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES";
Text:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\txtFilesFolder\;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited";
ConnectionStrings.com has a whole host of other Data Sources that you can access via OLE with the built-in libraries.
