IronXL enables C# developers to protect cells in their applications without the need for Excel to be installed. It offers all Excel functions with enhanced security measures.
As a software review, Interop is a crucial component of programming languages to communicate with each other. In the .Net framework, most often, .Net and C++ applications are interchanged. Excel interop is a technology that allows for the use of Excel in C# programming by accessing an installed instance of Excel. While this feature may sound promising, it has its limitations. Excel must be installed on the targeted machine, which includes web servers, Docker instances, and Azure – places where Excel cannot be installed.
We highly discourage the use of Excel interop in any web application or any application where the precise version of Excel is not installed. However, IronXL can provide all the functions that Excel offers without Excel interop. By using IronXL, you do not need to have Excel installed on any particular computer to use Excel in your C# application. Additionally, it can create, edit, import, generate, and export Excel documents without interop, becoming a popular C# Excel library.
IronXL allows you to use data from any source, including interop with another C++ application. If, for instance, you have interop with a proprietary C++ system, IronXL can extract data and create an Excel file without requiring Excel interop or Excel to be installed on your computer. This is essential for the .Net core, where Excel cannot be installed in an interop-compatible format for Mac and Linux targets or internet hosts.
IronXL can accomplish almost anything that Excel can achieve without interop in creating an Excel file. As for using interop with IronXL, we cannot think of any use cases where it might be necessary.
