Opening xls files using OWC11 spreadsheets with C#

[ernesto bascón]

Hi everybody:

I want to know if it is possible to open xls files using OWC11 spreadsheets
with C#.

I was able to import the ActiveX control but I have no idea about opening
xls files.

Any comment will be useful

That functionality is not supported.

Ernesto;

While Alvin B is correct, you can not open an XLS file in the OWC
Spreadsheet component; however if you are using Excel 2003, you can do
a Save As "XML Spreadsheet" and then load that xml Spreadsheet into
your OWC11 Spreadsheet component. You may not have the full
functionality of the Excel spreadsheet (Datatables do not function but
you can work around this) and you may encounter problems with the XML
Maps causing load errors, however it is do-able as I have done it
successfully in a recent project

I highly recommend Alvin B's Book. It helped me tremendously.
