Play with the Excel Object Library using .NET


Here you can find how to pass value to the cells as well as generating Charts based on the Excel data. In this example I have used " Excel Object Library 11.0".

using System; 

using System.Collections.Generic; 

using System.ComponentModel; 

using System.Data; 

using System.Drawing; 

using System.Text; 

using System.Windows.Forms;
