Sharing the Spreadsheet SensationClick to see the Infragistics.Excel library in Action

Maximize the value your users get out of the information in your Windows® Forms application by making it portable with Microsoft® Excel® and many other popular spreadsheet applications. Now you can build your data-driven solutions on top of the Infragistics.Excel code library for C# and VB.NET developers, with the interoperability you need to both read and write .XLS files. Your users will appreciate the new found freedom of taking data with them to work with in the best environment for the task, such as running "What If?" scenarios in Excel and then importing those calculations back into your application. Leveraging this collaboration can produce remarkable returns because we take care of the file interoperability, and relieve you of having to replicate expensive spreadsheet capabilities on your own.

Look Ma, No Excel Dependency

Infragistics.Excel runs completely independently of Excel, and does not require Excel to be installed alongside your application. Say "Good Bye" to the costly overhead of deploying Excel alongside your application as you might incur with a Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) or Excel Automation solution.

Foundation for WinGrid™ Import and Export

With WinGridExcelExporter™ it's easy to let your users work with and share grid data outside of your WinGrid application. One method call exports into a Workbook, and you can then leverage the Infragistics.Excel library on which WinGridExcelExporter was based to handle advanced formatting and layout like embedding graphics. Get roundtrip data portability when you use Infragistics.Excel to read data from a Workbook back into your WinGrid.
