Description
TheExcelTemplate object represents an ExcelWriter template spreadsheet.
C#
vb.net
Remarks
An ExcelWriter template is a file created in Microsoft Excel that contains data markers.
A data marker specifies a database column, variable, or array to insert in the spreadsheet column containing the marker.
The ExcelTemplate object is in the SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ExcelWriter namespace. The object can be referenced as SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ExcelWriter.ExcelTemplate. To minimize typing and errors, use an Import directive to import the namespace to the aspx page, and reference the object as ExcelTemplate, without the namespace prefix.
Examples
If you are coding directly in the .aspx page, following the Page directive, include:
If you are coding in the "code behind" page (.aspx.vb or .aspx.cs), include an Imports or using statement at the top of the "code behind" page:
C#
vb.net
To create an instance of the ExcelTemplate object use:

Methods
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Sets an object as a data source for a single cell in a template. | |
| Sets an array of objects as a data source for a single column in the template. | |
BindColumnData(System.Collections.IDictionary, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a column's data source to an
IDictionary. An IDictionary represents a collection of key-and-value pairs. |
BindColumnData(System.Collections.IEnumerable, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a column's data source to an
IEnumerable collection. The IEnumerable interface supports a simple iteration over a collection. |
BindData(Object()(), String(), String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a two-dimensional - possibly jagged - array of objects as a template data source. |
BindData(Object(,), String(), String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a rectangular array of objects as a template data source. |
BindData(System.Data.IDataReader, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets an ADO.NET IDataReader as a data source to bind to template data markers. |
BindData(System.Data.DataSet, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets an ADO.NET DataSet as a data source to bind to template data markers. |
BindData(System.Data.DataTable, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets an ADO.NET DataTable as a data source to bind to template data markers. |
BindRowData(Object(), String(), String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets an array of objects as a data source for a single row in a template.? When binding an array horizontally, you must insert a datamarker for each element you want displayed. |
BindRowData(System.Collections.IDictionary, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a row's data source to an
IDictionary. An IDictionary represents a collection of key-and-value pairs.
When binding an IDictionary horizontally, you must insert a datamarker for each value you want displayed. |
BindRowData(System.Collections.IEnumerable, String(), String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a row's data source to an
IEnumerable collection. The IEnumerable interface supports a simple iteration over a collection.This method will return only one row of data for the column bound by the datamarker. You must insert a datamarker into the template for each column of data you want shown. |
BindRowData(System.Data.DataSet, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a DataSet as a data source to bind to a row in the template. This method will import only the first row of the first DataTable of the DataSet. You must insert a datamarker into the template for each column of data you want shown. |
BindRowData(System.Data.DataTable, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a DataTable as a data source to bind to a row in the template. This method will import only the first row of the DataTable. You must insert a datamarker into the template for each column of data you want shown. |
BindRowData(System.Data.DataView, String, DataBindingProperties) | Sets a DataView as a data source to bind to a row in the template. This method will import only the first row of the DataView. You must insert a datamarker into the template for each column of data you want shown. |
| Creates a DataBindingProperties object for assigning the property values associated with one or more data binding calls. | |
| Creates a new ExcelTemplate object. | |
| Passes a spreadsheet from ExcelApplication to ExcelTemplate. | |
| Opens an ExcelWriter template spreadsheet. A template is a file created in Microsoft Excel that contains data markers where data source values will be inserted. | |
| Opens an ExcelWriter template from a System.IO.Stream. An ExcelWriter template is a file created in Microsoft Excel that contains data markers where data source values will be inserted. | |
| The Process method enters data source values in a template's data markers, and creates the output file (the new spreadsheet) in memory. The Save method can then save the output file to disk, stream it to the browser, or both. | |
Saves the generated Excel file on the server. The ASPNET account (IIS5), NETWORK SERVICE account (IIS6 or IIS7), or the authenticated user must have Write access to the destination directory specified by the outputFileName parameter. | |
Generates an Excel binary file and streams it to the specified
System.IO.Stream or, a class derived from System.IO.Stream (for example,
System.IO.FileStream). If you pass Save a System.IO.FileStream, ExcelWriter will save the generated file on the server. If you pass Save Response.OutputStream, ExcelWriter will stream the the generated file to the client. | |
| If you pass Save an HttpResponse object object, ExcelWriter will stream the generated file to the client. | |
| If you pass Save an HttpResponse object, ExcelWriter will stream the generated file to the client. This method allows you to specify a default client-side file name, and whether the file should be opened in the browser window or in Microsoft Excel. |
