In this tutorial, you will learn how to view Excel files within a Blazer Server application by setting up an Excel file viewer using Iron XL. The process involves integrating Iron XL into a Visual Studio project and working with the necessary code. First, import the required 'using' statements for Iron XL and System.Data. Define a table structure in HTML with dynamic headers based on the Excel file's columns, while the rows are filled with data from the file. In the '@code' section, a data table named 'displayDataTable' is declared to store Excel data. The 'openExcelFromDisk' method manages file uploads and data extraction. When an Excel file is uploaded, it is read into a memory stream, which Iron XL loads into a workbook object. The first row's headers become the data table's columns, and subsequent rows are added as data rows. Running the code opens a Blazer web application page where you can navigate to the 'fetch data' menu, open an Excel file, and view its contents. This tutorial demonstrates the simplicity of using Iron XL to create an Excel file viewer in a Blazer server app, enhancing web application capabilities.
