Topic: .net Excel w/ CAD Advice

[It's Alive!]

If this project is internal to your company, and have control over what's installed, I would use the Microsoft Excel Object Library.
Excel & late binding works well too if your looking for generic automation.
Lots of examples out there for connecting to excel from .NET. With this method, you can take advantage of Excel's Named Ranges & formulas

Mick I'm with you. For something so simple I don't want to bloat my application with a library. You could simplify even more though.

Code - C#: [Select]

1. return File.ReadAllLines(filename).Select(l => l.Split(',')).ToList();

Nice one MC. I like LINQ but I haven't got around using it much yet as I still think in a procedural fashion

LINQ is the shiznatch!
