Parameters

template

The current ExcelTemplate object which is being saved.

docLib

SharePoint Document Library that contains the Excel spreadsheet being opened

fileName

Name of the output file. ExcelWriter will save the file to the document library using this name. If a file with the same name exists, it will be overwritten by the new Excel file if the overwrite parameter is set to True.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

ArgumentException

Remarks

ExcelWriter allows you to save in both the Excel 97-03 BIFF8 format (.xls) or the new Office Open XML (.xlsx) format. The template file must be of the expected output format. Hence, if you wish to output .xls files, you must start with a .xls template, and if you wish to output .xlsx files, you must start with a .xlsx template. ExcelWriter does not support the creation or editing of .xlsx files with the ExcelApplication object.

You can call Save more than once for a single instance of ExcelTemplate. This allows you to save more than one copy of a generated file, and/or both save the file on the server and stream it to the client.

Icon

This is an extension method for the ExcelTemplate object to be used for saving spreadsheets to SharePoint Document Libraries. To use this method, you must add a reference to SoftArtisans.OfficeWriter.ExcelWriter.SharePointIntegration.dll
