Is there an alternative library to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel?

Question

I am using the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference in order to have some manipulations with excel files, like adding columns, locking cells, protecting with password etc...

Now I have to use this code on a server that doesn't have office installed on it, so I don't really know for sure if the code using this reference will be able to run there. So is there a way of doing all these actions on excel files on a server that doesn't have office installed on it ? Should I use another library or is there a way that the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference to work with no office installed ?

Answer 1

You can use EPPlus. It works with Open Office Xml format. No need to install any Office component on the server. https://github.com/EPPlusSoftware/EPPlus
