Creating Excel spreadsheets .XLS and .XLSX in C# - ASP.NET MVC Project

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:20:00 GMT

Recently I had to implement some code to create an Excel spreadsheet/report using C#. The task was: given an Excel spreadsheet template - a .XLS file (with formulas, pivot tables, macros, etc) I had to fill some data in one of the sheets of the spreadsheet and send this modified spreadsheet back to the user requesting such an operation (Excel report). I had a great time while studying the possible ways of doing what the task asks for. In this article I present an ASP.NET MVC project that shows you how to create an .XLS file using NPOI and an .XLSX file using ExcelPackage.

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 05:28:39 GMT

I was writing acceptance test for project today and I needed to include a file inside my Excel 2007 sheet. After fiddling around a little, I found "Insert Object". This allowed me to insert a file and have it available to anyone opening the Excel 2007 document. When I dragged and dropped the file to my desktop, the file was truncated! I couldn't believe it! I found a bug in Excel 2007! Being a developer, I wanted to properly report that bug.
