I need to build xml format, so it will opened with every MS Excel

I tried to using "SpreadsheetDocument.Create", but it wants to create a file, but I don't want to create file. I want to create xml with it and send it to the client, so MS Excel will open it.

How I can do this??

Thank you

There is no magic ingredient required and you don't need to use Office automation to create XML documents.

Here's an intro to XML in Excel[^] (you should understand what it is you will end up with).

All that is required is that you have a valid, conforming XML file. The .NET framework will write this out for you from an object model (look for XML serialization in the .NET framework if you're not familiar with the topic).

Hope this steers you in the right direction.

Cheers.

but I don't use Office automation(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel). I use Open XML SDK 2.0. Is this them same? Because I read that this format(Open XML) support all ms-excel versions

Sorry I missed the SDK reference, but, no, open XML is a standard for Excel documents for Office 2007 and forward, not all versions (in fact, only two).
