Your Excel® data is just a simple command away from any of your .NET applications with Excel for WPF and Silverlight (C1Excel) – you don't even need to have Microsoft® Excel installed! Create or load XLS files for Excel 97 and later. Excel for WPF and Silverlight supports the new Office 2007 OpenXml format, which allows you to save smaller, compressed XLSX files.

The main component in Excel for WPF and Silverlight is the C1XLBook object, which represents an Excel workbook containing one or more sheets. Use the C1XLBook to load existing Excel files or create new ones. Then add sheets, styles, hyperlinks, images, headers and footers, page breaks and more. When you are done, save the C1XLBook to a file or a Stream and you’re done. Anyone with a copy of Excel can access your data. It’s that easy!
