How to Load Existing Spreadsheets in C#

In this comprehensive tutorial, we explore how to load existing Excel spreadsheets and CSV files into a C application using the Iron XL library. To begin, ensure the Iron XL Nougat package is installed in your project. This can be done easily via the Nougat package manager. Start by importing the INXL namespace into your program CS file and setting your Iron XL license key. Iron XL supports a variety of Excel formats including XLSX, XLS, XLSM, and XLTX. Utilize the workbook.load method to load Excel files, such as 'sample.xlx', into memory. CSV files can also be loaded directly using the workbook.loadCSV method, which reads 'sample.csv' and loads its contents into a new workbook. For data in a dataset object, create a new workbook with workbook.create and load worksheets from the dataset using workbook.loadWorksheetsFromDataSet. This integration facilitates powerful data manipulation and analysis within your C application. By following these outlined steps, you can effectively manage existing spreadsheets and CSV files in your C projects, leveraging the capabilities of Iron XL. We hope this tutorial is beneficial.
