Library to Generate Excel XML Workbooks in .NET

Excel Xml Writer This library allows you to generate Excel Workbooks using XML, it is built 100% in C# and does not requires Excel installed at all to generate the files. It exposes a simple object model to generate the XML Workbooks.
It supports several features for generating Excel Workbooks including:
  • Formatting
  • Alignment
  • Formulas
  • Pivot Tables
  • and more...

Note: This library is free, you can distribute it and use it at your own will and risk, it is not supported by any company including Microsoft or any other company, it does not belong to any company.

There are many commercial tools to generate Excel workbooks, including SoftArtisans ExcelWriter.
My tool has nothing to do with any of those.
This tool was written entirely in C# by me.

The most important class is CarlosAg.ExcelXmlWriter.Workbook.
For example, the following code generates a simple Excel worksheet with one cell:
using CarlosAg.ExcelXmlWriter;

class TestApp {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        Workbook book = new Workbook();
        Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets.Add("Sample");
        WorksheetRow row =  sheet.Table.Rows.Add();
        row.Cells.Add("Hello World");
        book.Save(@"c:\test.xls");
    }
}
