Examples

Following code illustrates how to create a table with an external connections.

ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine();
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2013;
IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(1);
IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

// Database path
string dataPath = Path.GetFullPath(@"c:\company\DB\TestDB.mdb");

// Connection string for DataSource
string ConnectionString = "OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Password=\"\";User ID=Admin;Data Source=" + dataPath;

// Adding a connection to the workbook
IConnection Connection = workbook.Connections.Add("Connection1", "Sample connection with MsAccess", ConnectionString, "", ExcelCommandType.Sql);
// Adding a QueryTable to sheet object
worksheet.ListObjects.AddEx(ExcelListObjectSourceType.SrcQuery, Connection, worksheet.Range["A1"]);
// Command Text for the Connection
worksheet.ListObjects[0].QueryTable.CommandText = "Select * from tblTest";
// The Query performs Asynchronous action
worksheet.ListObjects[0].QueryTable.BackgroundQuery = true;
// The Query Table is refreshed when the Workbook is opened
worksheet.ListObjects[0].QueryTable.RefreshOnFileOpen = true;
// Represents the connection description
Connection.Description = "Sample Connection";
// Import data to the sheet from the database
worksheet.ListObjects[0].Refresh();
// Auto-fits the columns
worksheet.UsedRange.AutofitColumns();

string fileName = "Output.xlsx";
workbook.SaveAs(fileName);
workbook.Close();
excelEngine.Dispose();
