Importing from Custom Objects

Developers can import data from collection of objects to a worksheet using ImportCustomObjects. You can provide a list of columns/properties to the method to display your desired list of objects.

 //Instantiate a new Workbook

Workbook book = new Workbook();

//Clear all the worksheets

book.Worksheets.Clear();

//Add a new Sheet "Data";

Worksheet sheet = book.Worksheets.Add("Data");

//Define List

List<WeeklyItem> list = new List<WeeklyItem>();

//Add data to the list of objects

list.Add(new WeeklyItem() { AtYarnStage = 1, InWIPStage = 2, Payment = 3, Shipment = 4, Shipment2 = 5 });

list.Add(new WeeklyItem() { AtYarnStage = 5, InWIPStage = 9, Payment = 7, Shipment = 2, Shipment2 = 5 });

list.Add(new WeeklyItem() { AtYarnStage = 7, InWIPStage = 3, Payment = 3, Shipment = 8, Shipment2 = 3 });

//We pick a few columns not all to import to the worksheet

sheet.Cells.ImportCustomObjects((System.Collections.ICollection)list,

new string[] { "Date", "InWIPStage", "Shipment", "Payment" },

true,

0,

0,

list.Count,

true,

"dd/mm/yyyy",

false);

//Auto-fit all the columns

book.Worksheets[0].AutoFitColumns();

//Save the Excel file

book.Save("ImportedCustomObjects.xls");
