Migration from Office Automation to Syncfusion® XlsIO

Why Syncfusion®’s XlsIO over Office Automation?

  • Office automation can be extremely slow when deployed on a server. It is highly unstable when multiple Excel objects are instantiated on the server. However, XlsIO is designed to work under these circumstances and is a 100% native .NET component, so, it can easily handle concurrent requests from multiple users.
  • XlsIO has a very intuitive and easy to use object model. You can create richly formatted spreadsheets in just a few minutes.
  • Essential® XlsIO has a royalty free licensing model compared to office automation, where the users are expected to have Microsoft Excel licenses when deployed on the server.
