Question
I found NPOI is very good to write Excel files with C#.
But I want to open, read and modify Excel files in C#.
How can I do this?
Answer
Simple read example below:
using NPOI.HSSF.UserModel;
using NPOI.SS.UserModel;
//.....
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
HSSFWorkbook hssfwb;
using (FileStream file = new FileStream(@"c:\test.xls", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
hssfwb= new HSSFWorkbook(file);
}
ISheet sheet = hssfwb.GetSheet("Arkusz1");
for (int row = 0; row <= sheet.LastRowNum; row++)
{
if (sheet.GetRow(row) != null) //null is when the row only contains empty cells
{
MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Row {0} = {1}", row, sheet.GetRow(row).GetCell(0).StringCellValue));
}
}
}
By the way: on NPOI website here in Download section there is example package - a pack of C# examples. Try it, if you haven't yet. :)
