Asp.net / C# Webforms - Create excel spreadsheet and chart using a dataset

1 New Member
Hello everyone, I am currently working on a project that requires a webform in asp.net using C# as the code behind. The page must allow the user to create a report in excel. This report must also generate a chart based on the input dataset. (By the way, the component must be free)
So far, I have tried a lot of components which are really good but they do not provide all the required functionality altogether and some of them have trade offs when posting them into the web server. I 'll give you some examples:

1. When using MS ReportViewer, you have all the capabilities but there is not enough documentation in order to create tables and charts dynamically. Everithing from the design to the datasource must be specified in advance.
2. CarlosAr.net provides ExcelXmlWriter, which is good because does not requires excel installed ion the client, but you can not create charts.
3. .Net provides some COM libraries for excel. Using this approach, I can do all that I want, but when it comes to run the paeg from the actual server, the functionality is not allowed due to some security issues. Besides, it requires excel to be installed on the client side.

Does anyone knows a FREE tool that provides the following functionality:

1. Allows creation of excel spreadsheets and charts without defining the dataset and datasource in advance.
2. Does not require excel to be installed on the server nor the client side.


Thanks in advanced

I've just discovered a bug in some code I wrote a little while ago, and I need you guys' help to fix it. My program imports data from a standard Excel Spreadsheet (just with specific column headers). I used ODBC in my VB.NET program to read that spreadsheet into a dataset, to make it easy to manipulate. The code I use to read it is as the bottom of this posting.
