Showing Excel Documents on the Web

Question

I'm looking for a way to present excel documents on the web either by :

converting Excel documents to html, css and javascript or by, using silverlight control

I'm not looking for a way to program the conversion by my self. What I'm after is a control or library (open source or third - party ) which will enable me to present excel file inside a web browser.

Answer 1

Try FlexCel

Answer 2

You can try SQL Server Reporting Services with the help of some third party software like OfficeWriter.

Edit: SSRS is free with SQL Server 2005 Express

Answer 3

SpreadsheetGear is a great development platform that allows you to manipulate and generate Excel files with managed code, no install of Excel required. You can do things like convert a datatable to a spreadsheet, execute macros in a spreadsheet from code, etc. You could convert your spreadsheet to a datatable and simply display it in a datagrid.

Answer 4

You could try Excel Services in MOSS 2007 (SharePoint)

Answer 5

You could try using GemBox.Spreadsheet .NET Component for reading and writing Excel documents in a variety of formats (XLS, XLSX, ODS, CSV, HTML).

With it you could load Excel document in any format and save it to output stream of your page as pure HTML.
