    Converting data from C#.Net to Excel 2007

    How do I convert data/information from C#.net language to Excel 2007 spreadsheet to be displayed? I have no clear idea at all how this is going to take place. If the codes are given, how do i test them? Is it just copy and paste? I'm very new to C#.net as i just started reading. Because of work purpose, I need a quick guide as to how to solve this. Need some help asap. Thanks.

    There is no "quickie guide" for this.
    An actual understanding of both C# and MS Office is required.
    Add to that practice and understanding of the Microsoft.Offic e namespaces.

    Open any WIndows Forms project in Visual studio.
    Right-click on the project and choose "Add reference..."
    In the next dialog choose the ".NET" tab.
    Scroll down to "Microsoft.Offi ce" section and notice there is..
    • Microsoft.Offic e.InfoPath
    • Microsoft.Offic e.Interop
    • Microsoft.Offic e.Tool
    s
    Each of those have sub areas.

    This will actually require learning and practice on small projects before starting anything that might be considered ready for an employer.

        Start with tutorials on how to programmaticall y make an Excel spreadsheet and go from there. MSDN has many such tutorials.


        As you get deeper in, you will want to become familiar with this namespace:

          I suggest to use a c#/VB.net excel component, There are great 3rd party components in the market that do the same job (or even better).
          From a comparison testing I performed about a year ago Spire.XLS for .NET is the best from the following perspectives:
          1. Read/Write of excel
          2. Support of embedding images
          3. Size of result Excel file is very small
          4. Convenient API and very similar to Office's one
          5. Multi-threaded and multi-process support
