IronSoftware has a new application tool that allows you to read, edit, and create Excel formatted spreadsheet files inside the C# .NET projects without needing to install Microsoft Office applications or using Interlop on the project server. This creates a more versatile way for your build to provide end-users with the necessary capabilities for spreadsheet management without tying up valuable resources to make the full Excel software application operate.

How to Read Excel File CSharp imports data and exports sheets in .xls, .xlsx, .csv, .tsv, and .json file formats that allow a wide range of workflow integration for your project. That means anything from the classroom attendance sheet to the accounting verification worksheet of a bookkeeper can be used within the C# ecosystem.

You still get the ability to format and style the individual cells and worksheet to your preferred font, size, pattern, borer, alignment, and other needs and can set ranges in the same letter:number format as the native Excel application. The How to Read Excel File CSharp tool fully supports projects developed inside .NET 5, Core, Standard, Framework, and Azure builds.

How to Read Excel CSharp is a free application for those projects still in the development phase of completion. It provides a much better method of ironing out your processes than open-sourced software because you don't have to spend extra time and resources trying to repair bugs and errors. This is a much better-priced alternative to enterprise-level applications because you don't pay a thing until you actually reach the deployment phase. IronSoftware has different licensing available for the How to Read Excel CSharp at their website https://ironsoftware.com/csharp/excel/.
