Simplexcel 2.0.5

It's been a few month since I released Simplexcel 2.0.0, which was a major change in that it added .net Standard support, and can be used on .net Core, incl. ASP.net Core.

Since then, there have been a few further feature updates:

  • Add Worksheet.Populate<T> method to fill a sheet with data. Caveats: Does not loot at inherited members, doesn't look at complex types.
  • Also add static Worksheet.FromData<T> method to create and populate the sheet in one.
  • Support for freezing panes. Right now, this is being kept simple: call either Worksheet.FreezeTopRow or Worksheet.FreezeLeftColumn to freeze either the first row (1) or the leftmost column (A).
  • If a Stream is not seekable (e.g., HttpContext.Response.OutputStream), Simplexcel automatically creates a temporary MemoryStream as an intermediate.
  • Add Cell.FromObject to make Cell creation easier by guessing the correct type
  • Support DateTime cells
  • Add support for manual page breaks. Call Worksheet.InsertManualPageBreakAfterRow or Worksheet.InsertManualPageBreakAfterColumn with either the zero-based index of the row/column after which to create the break, or with a cell address (e.g., B5) to create the break below or to the left of that cell.

Simplexcel is available on Nuget, and the source is on GitHub.
