2. C# Excel File Generator Overview
In business application development, we often need to generate different types of Excel files programmatically. For this purpose, we need the easiest and quickest way to generate different types of files and save them in the required location automatically.
After installing IronXL, we can use the functions to generate different Excel file types:
- Excel file with
.xlsxextension. - Excel file with
.xlsextension. - Comma Separated Value (
.csv) files. - Tab Separated Value (
.tsv) files. - JavaScript Object Notation (
.json) files. - Extensible Markup Language (
.xml) files.
To generate any type of file, firstly we need to create an Excel WorkBook.
// Generate a new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Generate a new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
' Generate a new WorkBook
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create()
The above line of code will create a new WorkBook named wb. Now we will create a WorkSheet object.
// Generate a new WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("SheetName");
// Generate a new WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("SheetName");
' Generate a new WorkSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("SheetName")
This will create a WorkSheet named ws that we can use to insert data in Excel files.
3. Generate XLSX File C
First, we follow the steps above to generate the WorkBook and WorkSheet.
Then, we insert data into it to create our .xlsx extension file. For this purpose, IronXL provides a Cell Addressing System that allows us to insert data into a specific cell address programmatically.
// Insert data by cell addressing
ws["CellAddress"].Value = "MyValue";
// Insert data by cell addressing
ws["CellAddress"].Value = "MyValue";
' Insert data by cell addressing
ws("CellAddress").Value = "MyValue"
It will insert a new value "MyValue" in a specific cell address. In the same way, we can insert data into as many cells as we require. After this, we will save the Excel file in the specified path as follows:
// Specify file path and name
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xlsx");
// Specify file path and name
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xlsx");
' Specify file path and name
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xlsx")
This will create a new Excel file with the extension .xlsx in the specified path. Don't forget to write the extension .xlsx with the file name while saving.
To take a step further into how to create an Excel WorkBook in a C# project, check out the code examples here.
/**
* Generate XLSX File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook of .xlsx Extension
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX);
// Create workSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
ws["C4"].Value = "IronXL";
// Save the file as .xlsx
wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate XLSX File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook of .xlsx Extension
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX);
// Create workSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
ws["C4"].Value = "IronXL";
// Save the file as .xlsx
wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''
''' * Generate XLSX File

Imports System
Imports IronXL
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
' Create new WorkBook of .xlsx Extension
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLSX)
' Create workSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1")
' Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws("A1").Value = "Hello"
ws("A2").Value = "World"
ws("C4").Value = "IronXL"
' Save the file as .xlsx
wb.SaveAs("sample.xlsx")
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class
You can see a screenshot of the newly created Excel file sample.xlsx here:

4. Generate XLS File C
It is also possible to generate .xls files using IronXL. For this purpose, we will use the WorkBook.Create() function as follows:
// Create a workbook with XLS format
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS);
// Create a workbook with XLS format
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS);
' Create a workbook with XLS format
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS)
This will create a new Excel file with a .xls extension. Keep in mind that while assigning a name to an Excel file, you must write the extension .xls with the file name, like this:
// Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xls");
// Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xls");
' Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("Path + FileName.xls")
Now, let's see the example of how to generate an Excel file with a .xls extension:
/**
* Generate XLS File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook of .xls Extension
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS);
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("sample.xls");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate XLS File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook of .xls Extension
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS);
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("sample.xls");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''

'''
Imports System
Imports IronXL
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
' Create new WorkBook of .xls Extension
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create(ExcelFileFormat.XLS)
' Create WorkSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1")
' Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws("A1").Value = "Hello"
ws("A2").Value = "World"
' Save the file as .xls
wb.SaveAs("sample.xls")
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class
5. Generate CSV File C
Comma Separated Value (.csv) files also play a very important role in keeping data in different types of organizations. So, we also need to learn how to generate .csv files and insert data into them programmatically.
We can use the same process as above, but we need to specify the .csv extension with the file name while saving. Let's see an example of how to create .csv files in our C# project:
/**
* Generate CSV File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .csv
wb.SaveAsCsv("sample.csv");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate CSV File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .csv
wb.SaveAsCsv("sample.csv");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''
''' * Generate CSV File
'''
Imports System
Imports IronXL
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
' Create new WorkBook
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create()
' Create WorkSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1")
' Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws("A1").Value = "Hello"
ws("A2").Value = "World"
' Save the file as .csv
wb.SaveAsCsv("sample.csv")
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class

6. Generate TSV File C
Sometimes we need to generate Tab Separated Value (.tsv) files and insert data programmatically.
Using IronXL we can also generate .tsv extension files, insert data into them, and then save it to the required location.
Let's see the example of how to generate .tsv extension files:
/**
* Generate TSV File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .tsv
wb.SaveAsTsv("sample.tsv");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate TSV File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .tsv
wb.SaveAsTsv("sample.tsv");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''
''' * Generate TSV File
'''
Imports System
Imports IronXL
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
' Create new WorkBook
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create()
' Create WorkSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1")
' Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws("A1").Value = "Hello"
ws("A2").Value = "World"
' Save the file as .tsv
wb.SaveAsTsv("sample.tsv")
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class
7. Generate JSON File C
We can comfortably say that JavaScript Object Notation (.json) files are the most common data files and are used in almost all software development companies. Therefore, we often need to save the data in JSON format. For this, we need the simplest method to generate JSON format files and insert the data into them.
In such conditions, IronXL is the best option by which we can easily generate these files for C#. Let's see the example.
/**
* Generate JSON File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "1";
ws["A2"].Value = "john";
ws["B1"].Value = "2";
ws["B2"].Value = "alex";
ws["C1"].Value = "3";
ws["C2"].Value = "stokes";
// Save the file as .json
wb.SaveAsJson("sample.json");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate JSON File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "1";
ws["A2"].Value = "john";
ws["B1"].Value = "2";
ws["B2"].Value = "alex";
ws["C1"].Value = "3";
ws["C2"].Value = "stokes";
// Save the file as .json
wb.SaveAsJson("sample.json");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''
''' * Generate JSON File

Imports System
Imports IronXL
Friend Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
' Create new WorkBook
Dim wb As WorkBook = WorkBook.Create()
' Create WorkSheet
Dim ws As WorkSheet = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1")
' Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws("A1").Value = "1"
ws("A2").Value = "john"
ws("B1").Value = "2"
ws("B2").Value = "alex"
ws("C1").Value = "3"
ws("C2").Value = "stokes"
' Save the file as .json
wb.SaveAsJson("sample.json")
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class

8. Generate XML File C
In business application development, we often need to save the data in the Extensible Markup Language (.xml) file format. This is important because .xml file data is readable by both humans and machines.
Through the following examples, we will learn how to generate .xml files for C# and insert data programmatically.
/**
* Generate XML File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .xml
wb.SaveAsXml("sample.xml");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
/**
* Generate XML File
*/
using System;
using IronXL;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new WorkBook
WorkBook wb = WorkBook.Create();
// Create WorkSheet
WorkSheet ws = wb.CreateWorkSheet("Sheet1");
// Insert data in the cells of WorkSheet
ws["A1"].Value = "Hello";
ws["A2"].Value = "World";
// Save the file as .xml
wb.SaveAsXml("sample.xml");
Console.WriteLine("Successfully created.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
'''
