Hi All,

I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into a 2 dimensional array but am not sure whether there is a way to hardcode this as I'm not sure how Excel delimits its values.

I've seen it suggested that the Spreadsheet class can be used within:
using DocumentFormat.OpenXML
but I'm not sure what reference I need to add to use this assembly.

Can anyone help with the reference or does anyone have any easier way to store an Excel spreadsheet as a 2D array?

I'm still in the early stages of learning to use C# so any help is very much appreciated. I'm using Visual Studio 2010.

Thanks,
Stephen.

Hi Originalgriff,

Thanks very much for this information. I'm just having a problem with locating that reference when I try to add it. Does anyone know if it should be in a particular place or if the .dll file is linked to a particular program? Is this within a particular program I may not yet have downloaded?

Thanks,
Stephen.

If in doubt, try google. A quick search for "DocumentFormat.OpenXML" gave me the MSDN DocumentFormat.OpenXml namespace[^] information. Looking at a random property from that: OfficeAvailabilityAttribute class[^] gives you the info:

Assembly:  DocumentFormat.OpenXml (in DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll)
