Parameters

stream

The stream containing the workbook to open.

Return Type

The opened workbook.

Remarks

The stream must consist solely of a file which SpreadsheetGear for .NET is able to read. If the stream is not seekable, this method will copy the stream to a MemoryStream and read the workbook from the MemoryStream.

The various workbook settings which make a workbook read-only in an end user workbookSet have no affect at this level. These settings are available as IWorkbook properties.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
