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."

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."
