I need to replicate the framework that I built ij Java using the Apache POI api to read data from MS Excel. I have no idea what to use, this is the equivalent of the apache POI library. Any ideas please anyone?
It depends on what you want to do.
One option: NPOI , which is the .Net Apache POI address for .Net
Another option is to use IKVM and then directly Apache POI from inside .Net.
You can use the Open XML SDK to manage MS Office document formats with Office 2007.
