In this tutorial, we delve into creating, reading, and editing Excel files in .NET MAUI using IronXL. The guide begins with designing the application's front-end, including setting up a simple layout using XAML with a label and two buttons for creating and reading Excel files. We then explore the creation of Excel files by defining methods that initialize a workbook, set cell values, apply formatting, and save the file using a save service class. This involves implementing formulas for calculations and visual enhancements like background colors and borders. Next, we discuss reading and modifying Excel files by loading them, applying formulas, and altering cell formatting, with changes saved and displayed to users. The tutorial also details the save service class, responsible for saving files using the file save picker dialogue, and platform-specific code for Windows to manage file-saving processes. By following these steps, users can effectively manipulate Excel files within a .NET MAUI application, expanding their application's capabilities. We encourage viewers to try out the trial subscription of IronXL for a hands-on experience.
