Excel component deployment in winform program(C#)

[Lee]

Hello,

I use excel to display and print data in my winform program(c#),but I find
it cannot run on machines without office installed,Is there any way to
deploy the excel component with my program?
Clients may not install excel.

Sorry for grammar mistakes.

Lee-

The short answer is No. There is no "Excel component" that
can be re-distributed. What you are doing is controlling,
or "Automating", Excel from your C# program. Therefore,
Excel must be installed on the machine your program is
running on.

If you can't install Excel on the target PCs, you might
look into some alternatives, like one of the Grid controls
that ships with Visual Studio, and/or a Chart control.

HTH,
