Create and populate Excel file in c# code behind

Can anyone direct me to a place where I can learn a little bit about creating a .xslx file in code behind then populating it. I would need to create new worksheets as well.

I would be using a text box and parsing the data therein to populate the excel spreadsheet.

Thanks in 开发者_Go百科advance.

Check out the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office. It provides a slightly higher level API than simply the formidable Open XML specification. Download both packages - the tools are useful for experimenting.

Here are some links that should get you started using this SDK:

• Getting Started with the Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office
• Creating Spreadsheet document using OpenXML SDK
• Creating Documents by Using the Open XML Format SDK 2.0

The question OpenXML SDK Spreadsheet starter kits also has some great links.

I used a few SDK's when I had to do it, and unfortunately many of them worked but had issues with some security when you open it in Excel again.

I eventually settled for good old COM interop with Excel.

This Interop Arcticle will help you get started.

I just created a nice ExcelHelper class to hide all the ugly COM syntax and handle the memory for me.
