We are generating SQL Server reports and rendering them to Excel format. Each report creates a new Workbook. We need to be able to open workbook1 and workbook2 and then copy a sheet1 from workbook2 into workbook1 as the last sheet.
We can do this using the Excel object model, but would prefer to use the Infragistics.Excel so that Office does not have to be installed on a server.
I have looked over the Infragistics.Excel documentation and do not see any API support for this.
Any help would be appreciated.

Currently, the Infragistics.Excel assembly does not support copying a worksheet from one workbook to another. You can submit a feature request for this here: http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx.
In the meantime, you will need to create a new worksheet in the other workbook and manually copy the contents from the original worksheet to the new worksheet.
Mike, thanks for the response. We started down the path you suggested of manually copying. The content was easy but the formatting, especially of merged cells got tricky and we ran out of time to get the quality of output we needed. The Infragistics.Excel library supported a cell style object, but would not allow you to set the style/format of a cell in one workbook with a instances of that style object from another.
We ended up staying with the MS Excel .net interop for now. Since we wanted this to run as a scheduled task, we had to set up an interactive login on a PC that the task was running under. Excel won't play nice in the background.
I will submit a feature request for this .
Thanks
How are you copying the format? You should do something like this: destCell.CellFormat.SetFormatting(sourceCell.CellFormat)
Mike we are doing an excel evaluation for ingragistics. but we have copy over functionality exsting in current system from one workbook to another. we used the code you have mentioned above, but we are recieving the same error. has this feature been implemented yet ?
Thanks.

The feature has not yet been implemented. Can you send the code (or a portion of it) which reproduces the error and I will try to find out what's going on? Also, which version are you using?
Hi Mark, has the feature of copying a worksheet from a workbook to another workbook been implemented yet ?
Thank you in advance
Hi,
No, there's no such feature at this time.
Hi thank you for your answer. Currently I am trying to auto update a chart when I insert a new column in a worksheet. How can I do it ?
I'm also having a problem with auto updating the chart. Hope to find the answer here.
Still not?
