What is ExcelWriter?

ExcelWriter is a .NET library and API. It allows you to generate, manipulate, and read Excel documents from your own applications. You can use ExcelWriter to process workbooks with a fully programmatic object model, or design report templates in Office and quickly merge them with data. ExcelWriter can generate spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel format (.xls) or Office Open XML format (.xlsx) and it will preserve all of the familiar features associated with Excel workbooks.

ExcelWriter SE provides a template-driven development approach, meaning that templates are developed in Excel and then processed with just a few lines of code to import data. With Reporting Services integration, reports can be created inside Excel and processed by Reporting Services with no code written at all.
