Excel supports multiple formats, and the first thing you need to find out is the lowest version that you need to support. The older versions, like the Excel 95 binary format will require an third-party tool.
For the newer version, I'd recommend the Office OpenXml format; that too, is a complexer format, and you don't want to waste time on reimplementing it yourself. If you only need it as a report, I'd go for Xml, and simply rename it to Xls; that way you wouldn't have access to the advanced functions, just as with ADO.NET.
You'll have to invest some time in looking at the advantages and disadvantages of each of these options

You have already asked this in QA, editing crystal report at user end[^] and received an answer.
Why is common sense not common?

Is there not such a control you can host in your app? I know Active Reports did ten years ago, so I expect Crystal does by now.

I'd start with a Google [^]search, then I'd read some of the responses and see if they give me any ideas for further research.
After that I would refine my searches, read the articles and create a project based on the samples and replies. If I had a specific problem I would either ask on the forum where the article/reply was posted or ask here.

The 'normal' ways of doing this no longer work since Vista - let's face it, it's not great for a user if a program moves their taskbar!
The only way I know of to do this now is to simulate clicking, dragging and releasing the mouse at the right coordinates.

For a C# 2008 desktop/console application I want to share a linq to sql (*.dbml file) between 2 different project files in the same solution.
I know that I should probably put the linq to sql (*.dbml file) in its own project file with a class libary?
Since I do not know how to accomplish this goal, I am wondering if you can point me to a reference on how to accomplish this goal?

Your link is good! However, I would like to use linq to sql (*.dbml) files since that is the way I have the code setup currently.
I have told my boss that (linq to sql) or linq to the entity framework is the better way to go since that is the newest technology. (My boss has some java experince.)
Thus can I setup the class library that connects to the database by using linq to sql and/or linq to some other technology? If so, can you tell me and/or point me to a reference that will accomplish this goal?

If your talking about non .NET technologies, no. But if you want to create a suit of applications based on .NET, then the n-tier dsign is the way to go. Build a data access library (DAL). Create a business layer (BAL) that references the data access library. Then create seperate applications that reference the business library.
You may be able to take your existing code and refactory it out into the different layers and then start building the new applications and share all that common DAL and BAL code. If your forms/pages are making calls directly to the database in your corrent solution: it may be harder.

Have to insert a large number of columns into a datatable (178 to be precise). Tried DataTable.Add() but its just too slow. Tried DataColumnCollection.AddRange(dataColumn[]) after creating the array of DataColumns - probably Slower!
It seems to check for column existence etc and other voodoo before adding a column. Is there a way of modifying this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

This begs some questions!
Why are you using a datatable originating in C#?
If you need a datatable why does it not exist in a database?
Is creating the datatable in the database quicker than in C#?
Why can't you use a collection instead of a datatable?

Thanks for your reply. This project doesnt involve/require databases of which i am very very familiar with in many languages. It involves Datasets only! At some point i really considered shipping SQLServer just to cut down the time it takes to insert, delete and sort the datatables.
BTW, do you have any ideas on how to fix this?
{like turn of error checking, insert columns then turn it back on}

Why not use collections, as you have found out datsets have some serious overheads. While I have built up datatable in code before I have never had to deal with that number of columns and that was when I was using winforms.

Yes[^], but you'd be wanting to use collections as suggested. 178 columns in a datatable indicates a non-normalized table. Either you have a collection that's going to be dumped, or you need a database.

Working with text files (csv).
Let me have a good look at the collections.
The turn off feature is for loading data...

Non-normalized data. Wouldn't it be a bit more efficient to load it into a Sqlite database and process it further from there? What are you planning to do with the data?

A lot of in-memory manipulation (which is all OK) then output to a text file of sorts (no problems with that either).
Trying a different approach before I go to collections. Will create a new datatable(dt) with required cols and then blast data into it. Will probably be 100 times faster.
Report back in a few mins. Dont give up on me yet.....

I don't manipulate large datasets in memory; seems that most harddisks come with a large cache, and that memory is a limited resource.
FWIW; a List (with the capacity preset) with structs would probably be the fastest "structure". OTOH, if you're manipulating line by line, you'd prolly want a stream, not an in-memory list.
How does your output look like? Another CSV based on the original? What kind of operations are you performing on the dataset?

Have replied to myself as a summary and as a help for others who search in future.
Thanks for your suggestions and will look at collections again soon.

OK. It works now.
Adding a large number of columns to a datatable is too slow. I created a new table and added the columns I needed on table creation then used addrange.
About 1000 times faster (even though I had to copy all data rows - 156,000).
Now doing same for sorting and deletions.
Thanks all. Project now complete.
New post coming up.

There is a site, username and password. Now I do login in a common way - manually, and then check some info in my profile.
Is it possible to automatize this process? I mean, to call a function from the server that logins with this information + gets some data from cookies?
Can it be done with C# or maybe there are some extentions for this purpose?
