'Declaration
 
Overloads Function OpenFromStream( _
   ByVal stream As System.IO.Stream _
) As IWorkbook

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IWorkbooks
Dim stream As System.IO.Stream
Dim value As IWorkbook
 
value = instance.OpenFromStream(stream)

IWorkbook OpenFromStream( 
   System.IO.Stream stream
)

function OpenFromStream( 
    stream: System.IO.Stream
): IWorkbook;

function OpenFromStream( 
   stream : System.IO.Stream
) : IWorkbook;

IWorkbook* OpenFromStream( 
   System.IO.Stream* stream
)

IWorkbook^ OpenFromStream( 
   System.IO.Stream^ stream
)

Parameters

stream: The stream containing the workbook to open.

Return Value

The opened workbook.

The stream must consist solely of a file which SpreadsheetGear 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.

C#

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create a simple workbook.
        SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbook workbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbook();
        workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"].Cells["A1"].Value = "Hello World!";
 
        // Save the workbook to a memory stream.
        System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
        workbook.SaveToStream(memoryStream, SpreadsheetGear.FileFormat.OpenXMLWorkbook);
 
        // Close the workbook.
        workbook.Close();
 
        // Create another workbook from the memory stream.
        workbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbookSet().Workbooks.OpenFromStream(memoryStream);
        Console.WriteLine("Sheet1!A1='{0}'", workbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"].Cells["A1"].Value);
    }
}

Visual Basic

Module Program
    Sub Main()
        ' Create a simple workbook. 
        Dim workbook As SpreadsheetGear.IWorkbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbook()
        workbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells("A1").Value = "Hello World!"
 
        ' Save the workbook to a memory stream. 
        Dim memoryStream As New System.IO.MemoryStream()
        workbook.SaveToStream(memoryStream, SpreadsheetGear.FileFormat.OpenXMLWorkbook)
 
        ' Close the workbook. 
        workbook.Close()
 
        ' Create another workbook from the memory stream. 
        workbook = SpreadsheetGear.Factory.GetWorkbookSet().Workbooks.OpenFromStream(memoryStream)
        Console.WriteLine("Sheet1!A1='{0}'", workbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells("A1").Value)
    End Sub
