Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
The Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
library is a .NET InterOp assembly that enables interaction with Microsoft Excel. This assembly provides a rich set of classes and interfaces for managing and manipulating Excel workbooks, sheets, cells, and more directly from .NET code. It's particularly useful for tasks like automating Excel operations, generating dynamic spreadsheet reports, and processing Excel data within .NET applications. Because it relies on the COM InterOp technology, the actual Microsoft Excel application needs to be installed on the host machine for the library to function.
IronWord is a .NET library designed to make working with Word documents easy for developers. It offers the capability to create, read, and edit Word (DOCX) documents directly in .NET applications without requiring Microsoft Word. This library is a boon for automating document management tasks, generating reports, or processing documents dynamically in code. It supports a wide range of Word document features, such as text formatting, images, tables, and more, allowing for the creation of complex Word documents programmatically. IronWord provides a trial version at no cost, and licensing options begin at $1,498.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
The Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
library is a .NET assembly that allows developers to manipulate Word documents directly from their .NET applications. This InterOp assembly acts as a bridge between the .NET code and the COM-based Word application, enabling tasks such as creating, editing, and formatting documents, as well as adding text, images, and tables. It's particularly useful for automating Word document processing tasks, generating reports, and converting documents without needing the Word application open. Because it requires the presence of Microsoft Word on the host machine, it offers a comprehensive set of features for managing Word files, leveraging the full capabilities of the Word application programmatically.
The Iron Suite, including IronPDF, IronOCR, IronQR, IronBarcode, IronXL, and IronWord, offers a wide range of tools for C# developers working on different aspects of app development like handling PDFs, recognizing text from images, working with QR and barcodes, and managing Excel and Word files.
