`IronXL` library makes controlling worksheet using C# code as easy as possible. The actions of create & delete worksheet, change worksheets position, set active worksheet in Excel file can be achieved without using Office Interop. #### Create Worksheet The `CreateWorkSheet` method allows creating worksheet possible. It requires the worksheet name as the only parameter. #### Set Worksheet Position `SetSheetPosition` method can be used to change or move worksheet position. The two parameters are required. The worksheet name as String and its index position as Integer. #### Set Active Worksheet Set active worksheet means to set which worksheet to be opened by default when the workbook is opened. To achieve this use `SetActiveTab` method with the index position of the worksheet. #### Remove Worksheet Removing the worksheet can also be done with IronXL. Use `RemoveWorkSheet` method along with index position of the worksheet. In the case of worksheet's position is unknown, the name of the worksheet can also be used to delete the worksheet. Please note that all the index position mentioned above follows zero-based indexing.

IronXL is an Excel Library for C# and .NET which allows developers to Read and edit Excel data from XLS and XLSX Documents without using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.
The API allows us to Create, Read, Manipulate, Save and Export Excel files intuitively for:
using IronXL;
// Create new Excel WorkBook document
WorkBook workBook = WorkBook.Create();
// Convert XLSX to XLS
WorkBook xlsWorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS);
// Create a blank WorkSheet
WorkSheet workSheet = workBook.CreateWorkSheet("new_sheet");
// Add data and styles to the new worksheet
workSheet["A1"].Value = "Hello World";
workSheet["A1"].Style.WrapText = true;
workSheet["A2"].BoolValue = true;
workSheet["A2"].Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double;
// Save the excel file as XLS, XLSX, CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, HTML and streams
workBook.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");

Private workSheet("A2").Style.BottomBorder.Type = IronXL.Styles.BorderType.Double
' Save the excel file as XLS, XLSX, CSV, TSV, JSON, XML, HTML and streams
workBook.SaveAs("sample.xlsx")
The IronXL
library can be used to create Excel documents from in XLS and XLSX formats.
Using the IronXL API it is intuitive to populate your workbook and save it.

The IronXL
library can be used to create and export XLSX, XLS, CSV, TSV, JSON and XML documents.
We can also export to System.Data.DataSet
and System.Data.DataTable
objects for interoperability with SQL.
