Embed Excel Workbook Inside Form VB .NET

[Shawn]

Does anybody know how to embed an Excel Worksheet into a (vb .net)
form?

I want the worksheet to appear as though it's a control on the form
with all the functionality of a worksheet. I don't necessarily need
all the toolbars because I will write code to manipulate the sheet
from the back end.

I've imported the Excel Object model reference but I'm at a loss of
how to display a worksheet object inside the form.

Thanks,
Shawn

PS
Excel 10.0 Object model
Windows XP
1.1 .NET Framework

Since there is no OLE control in VB.NET the only alternative is to use the WebBrowser control:

I figured out that you can right click the toolbox, click "customize
toolbox", add the Microsoft Office Excel 10.0 COM component and you
now get a control just like I wanted. However, the worksheet that you
get doesn't have all the functionallity that a real excel sheet has. I
specifically was looking to import data as an excel web query.
Unfortunately, this part of the object model was not included in the
AxInterop.OWC10 reference that was added.
Any work around to using the "Tools -> Import Data -> WebQuery" part
of excel with the .Net Excel control add in?

Thanks Again,
