David W. Smith of Rolls-Royce said "Your SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample Solution may be the best tutorial I have ever encountered."

These samples are composed of a set of user controls, each of which demonstrates commonly used SpreadsheetGear 2010 functionality and API's. Source code can be viewed and copied directly from the source viewer below each sample.

Follow these steps to run the SpreadsheetGear Explorer Solution:
  • Install SpreadsheetGear 2010.
  • To open the SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample solution in Visual Studio, open the Windows Start menu, click on All Programs, click on SpreadsheetGear 2010 and click on SpreadsheetGear Explorer C# Sample or SpreadsheetGear Explorer VB Sample.
  • If you are opening the solution in Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010 for the first time, follow the steps in the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard to convert the solution to Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010.
  • For the best performance, make sure that the current configuration is set to Release rather than Debug.
  • Open the Build menu and choose Rebuild Solution.
  • Open the Debug menu and choose Start Without Debugging to run SpreadsheetGear Explorer.
  • In SpreadsheetGear Explorer, choose from among the various samples on the left. Note that many of the samples require user input, such as clicking on a Run Sample button or entering the specified text or number into a cell.
  • Source code can be viewed and copied directly at runtime from the source viewer below each sample.
  • It is important to note that the SpreadsheetGear Explorer samples demonstrate the usage of GetLock and ReleaseLock which are required when using the WorkbookView control with background calculation enabled. ASP.NET developers will almost never use GetLock and ReleaseLock, and at the time of this writing none of the ASP.NET samples provided by SpreadsheetGear LLC use GetLock and ReleaseLock.
  • If you have trouble using the SpreadsheetGear Explorer Samples, please refer to Troubleshooting SpreadsheetGear Explorer in the SpreadsheetGear Help under Getting Started -> Using the Samples -> SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample Solutions.

Best Component Purchase
for Many Years
“SpreadsheetGear for .NET provides a platform for spreadsheet web extension second to none. We were able to implement our custom formulas using the SpreadsheetGear engine with ease and these interact with the Excel functions seamlessly. The performance is superb and in many cases faster than in Excel which has been a pleasant surprise. The expertise of the development team is very apparent and we look forward to the new product enhancements coming down the line. From a return on investment perspective this has been our best component purchase for many years."
