Remarks
All methods in Factory are thread safe.
Example
class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Create a new empty workbook set. SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbookSet workbookSet = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbookSet(); // Create a new empty workbook in the workbook set. SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbook workbook = workbookSet.Workbooks.Add(); // Get a reference to the first worksheet. SpreadsheetGear.IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"]; // Get a reference to the top left cell of Sheet1. SpreadsheetGear.IRange a1 = worksheet.Cells["A1"]; // Set a formula. a1.Formula = "=24901.55 / PI()"; // Output the result of the formula. System.Console.WriteLine("The diameter of the earth is " + a1.Value.ToString() + " miles."); } }
Module Program Sub Main() ' Create a new empty workbook set. Dim workbookSet As SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbookSet = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbookSet() ' Create a new empty workbook in the workbook set. Dim workbook As SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbook = workbookSet.Workbooks.Add() ' Get a reference to the first worksheet. Dim worksheet As SpreadsheetGear.IWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") ' Get a reference to the top left cell of Sheet1.
