New Post: use vb.net to create xls file from .net table using NPOI

Hi,

using asp.net/vb.net 2010

I have a .net datatable and I would like to create an excel (xls) file using NPOI.   While I am displaying most of the columns to the user, also I would like to format a couple of the columns so I can hide the columns but the value is still in the cell.

Essentially when the user clicks on the go button I want to take the .net datatable, create the excel file and then open the excel file so the user can see it and the do whatever with it, save it or edit it.

are there are any code samples of how to do this?  I just downloaded NPOI today and have not used it before.

thanks

Dave
