SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample Solutions

SpreadsheetGear 2010 comes with the SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample Solutions for C# and Visual Basic.

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.

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

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 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.

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."

My Boss Thinks
I'm a Genius
"Just wanted to give you a little good feedback on your product. I'm a programmer for a small company in Norway and we needed to create an Excel report for one of our customers. So I purchased a license for your wonderful product and it took me about 10 minutes to get the report from a DataTable into a finished Excel document!

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

Cheers!"

When you need your web or Windows app to interact with Excel files with lightening speed and no COM crashes, SpreadsheetGear for .NET is what you use. This product truly separates the men from the boys in the spreadsheet control marketplace."

Performance, Flexibility
Priceless Support
"We started to use SpreadsheetGear for .NET almost two years ago when the performance of other controls was becoming problematic. We needed a control that could handle large workbooks with complex formulas to be able to apply Monte Carlo simulation to financial statements. Since that time SpreadsheetGear for .NET has become our tool of choice not only for the performance but also for the flexibility. But most of all, the technical support we receive from SpreadsheetGear LLC is priceless; it has always been fast and accurate with the vision to arrive at the desired solution."
