Hi,
I have found many tutorials showing how to access data in an Excel
spreadsheet using a COM object in .net. But, as far as I can tell, this
requires Excel to be installed.
Is there anyway I can access the Excel file without the user needing
Excel?
Thanks,

Hi,
I think it would be possible to write your own "Excel-interpreter" by
binary reading the Excel file, but I would strongly advise against
this.
Otherwise I don't think you can manage this. Even the free .NET interop
assemblies need an original copy of Excel installed.
Good luck,
Alke Wiebenga
PS:
I think OpenOffice is able to import Excel files. OpenOffice code is
Open Source so you could take a look at how they've implemented this..

Hi,
I don;t think so, especially the way you are using it (automation) IF (and
I'm not sure it can be done) you could access it would be using ADO.NET and
OleDb.
Try this approach.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
