Creating an Excel Sheet using .Net

In this entry I will show how you can create a Microsoft Excel file using .Net.

// Create the Excel Application object.
ApplicationClass ExcelApp = new ApplicationClass();
// Set the visibility of the application.
ExcelApp.Visible = true;
// Create a new Excel Workbook.
Workbook ExcelWorkbook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
// Create a new Excel Sheet.
Worksheet ExcelSheet = (Worksheet)ExcelWorkbook.Sheets.Add(ExcelWorkbook.Sheets.get_Item(1), Type.Missing, 1, XlSheetType.xlWorksheet);
try
{
// Loop for 10 rows.
for (int rwCount = 1; rwCount <= 10; rwCount++)

{

// Loop for 3 columns.

for (int clmCount = 1; clmCount <= 3; clmCount++)

{

ExcelSheet.Cells[rwCount, clmCount] = "This is Row - " + rwCount + " Column - " + clmCount;

}

}

// Save the Excel sheet.

// The @ symbol makes the string to contain any special characters inside the string without breaking the string.

ExcelApp.Save(@"C:\Projects\Ex.xls");

}
