It is also important to note that Visual Studio 2010 replaced the MS Help 2 system with the new Microsoft Help Viewer 1.0 system. This new help system does not have Dynamic Help, though it does still support IntelliSense, and pressing F1 on a term such as "IWorkbookSet".

Microsoft Chooses SpreadsheetGear for .NET "After carefully evaluating SpreadsheetGear, Excel Services, and other 3rd party options, we ultimately chose SpreadsheetGear for .NET because it is the best fit for MSN Money." Chris Donohue Program Manager MSN Money Spreadsheet Component Industry Veterans "Our key developers have over fifty years of combined experience developing high performance commercially available spreadsheet technology which is used by most of the Fortune 500." Joe Erickson Founder and CEO SpreadsheetGear LLC Over 100 Times Faster Than Other Controls "We just wanted you to know how thrilled we are by the performance we are seeing with SpreadsheetGear for .NET. A 6,000 KB Excel workbook is loading into the WorkbookView control in less than a second. This is over 100 times faster than other controls we’ve tested. That difference makes it possible for us to develop and release a viable product with the Microsoft .NET Framework." Amy Tate Chief .NET Architect Applied OLAP, Inc. Huntsville, Alabama You Have an Excellent Product "You have an excellent product. I've finished my testing and was able to rewrite a program using VB.NET and your control. I wrote the previous version 4 years ago using VB6 which employed the Excel COM object. The old program generated about 2100 excel sheets in 8 hours. With your control it now takes 7 minutes! I also wrote a web form in ASP.NET VB using your control. This was also previously a VB6 / Excel app. This one went from 36 minutes to less than a minute. I'm having no trouble getting this purchase approved!" Mark Hitchcock Manager of Information Technology Administrative Concepts, Inc. Your Quick Responses...

My boss thinks I'm a genius, but hey; the credit should go to your product. At least half of it. Cheers!"
