Create a simple Excel report using .NET Framework

The below steps illustrates creating a simple Invoice formatted Excel document in console application using .NET Framework.

Step 1: Create a new C# Console Application(.NET Framework) project.

Create console application.NET Framework in Visual Studio

Step 2: Name the project.

Name the Application

Step 3: Install the Syncfusion.XlsIO.WinForms NuGet package as reference to your .NET Standard applications from NuGet.org.

Install Syncfusion.XlsIO.WinForms Nuget Package

NOTE

The Syncfusion.XlsIO.WinForms NuGet package is dependent package for Syncfusion® Windows Forms GUI controls, so named with suffix “WinForms”. It has platform independent .NET framework (4.0, 4.5, 4.5.1, 4.6) assemblies of Excel library and doesn’t contain any Windows Forms related references or code. Hence, we recommend this package for .NET framework Console application.

Step 4: Include the following namespaces in the program.cs file.

using Syncfusion.XlsIO;
   using System.IO;
   using System.Drawing;
Imports Syncfusion.XlsIO
   Imports System.IO
   Imports System.Drawing

Step 5: Include the below code snippet in program.cs to create an Excel file.
