Upgrade from old Aspose.Excel to Modern Aspose.Cells Component

In order to assist users with upgrading, we maintain a document describing information critical to existing users, especially those who have been using the older Aspose.Excel and now want to upgrade to newer Aspose.Cells. These are intended to be brief notes, and you can find more information by checking all the sections of the Programmer’s Guide and Aspose.Cells API Reference.

Upgrading to Aspose.Cells

Sometimes previous users (e.g., Aspose.Excel users) might encounter an issue/problem or find that some features are missing in the version; alternatively, they need to upgrade to the newer Aspose.Cells for their requirements. It should be noted that Aspose.Excel has been renamed to Aspose.Cells, so we cannot continue to make amendments with the older Aspose.Excel component. The new Aspose.Cells component is more reliable, stable, and robust, with enhanced and advanced functionality. We specifically focus on optimizing its performance for a wide range of scenarios. Just to emphasize, there is not much effort involved in upgrading to the Aspense.Cells component.

Some APIs (classes, structs, enumerations, etc.) have been added based on the advanced features we now offer. The previous classes (with their members) are retained and optimized, but a few classes have been renamed. Some additional members (properties, methods, etc.) are also included for the classes, with a very few excluded.

The following is the list of classes that have been renamed:

1. Excel class is replaced by Workbook class.

2. ExcelDesigner class is replaced by WorkbookDesigner class.

3. ExcelHelper class is replaced by CellsHelper class.
