SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample Solutions
Click for a large image of the SpreadsheetGear Explorer C# Sample Solution
SpreadsheetGear 2009 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 2009 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 2009.
  • To open the SpreadsheetGear Explorer Sample solution in Visual Studio, open the Windows Start menu, click on All Programs, click on SpreadsheetGear 2009 and click on SpreadsheetGear Explorer C# Sample or SpreadsheetGear Explorer VB Sample.
  • If you are opening the solution in Visual Studio 2008 for the first time, follow the steps in the Visual Studio Conversion Wizard to convert the solution to Visual Studio 2008.
  • 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.

That difference makes it possible for us to develop and release a viable product with the Microsoft .NET Framework."

SpreadsheetGear for .NET
So Much Easier
"I have one big problem with Spreadsheetgear for .NET, my billable hours are going to go down because your product is so much easier to use than a web grid. Yikes!

I sure wish I had found your product a couple of years ago. And converting my webgrid code over to SpreadsheetGear for .NET is going very quickly because all of the logic is already coded and I just have to write to the spreadsheet.

I really like not having to insert columns and rows when I need them. I really like your product so far."
