I'm using the office 2007 interop assemblies to create some excel spreadsheets. There are plenty of questions on here about getting started and MSDN contains heaps of articles, like this one.

I've got a load of DataTables that I want to export into several Excel worksheets (in a new spreadsheet / Excel file). The "solution" that already exists in the code I have is two nested for loops, iterating over all the rows and columns, inserting data cell-by-cell. This isn't ideal as the process takes well over 10 minutes. There's a f...
