I have an ASP.NET Core 2.2 web app utilizing IgniteUIThe site also has an API which accepts an Excel Workbook (I'm using a 3rd party Excel reader to import the workbook/worksheet contents)
I would like to use the IG Excel engine to import the workbook contents
I've done the various IG Excel JavaScript examples, but I need the import to be done at the server (the API of course has no UI)
Is this possible?
I see Infragistics.Web.Mvc.Documents.Core, and Infragistics.Web.Mvc.Documents.Excel were installed to the GAC_MSIL with the IgniteUI installation, but I assume they're not meant for IgniteUI/.net Core 2.2
Thank you!
Hi Terry,
The Infragistics Excel library is available for many platforms - WPF, ASP.NET WebForms, MVC, Javascript, Angular, etc. This sample demonstrates how to load a workbook, modify it programatically and download it locally using the library for ASP.NET. Same can be achieved with the library for MVC.
I suggest that you get started with it from Infragistics Excel Engine Gettting Started and also review the samples available.
Please let me know if you have further questions, I will be glad to help.
The answer is no, it is not possible...
Windows.Web.UI Namespace is not available to .net core 2.2
I'd thought I'd missed something during the install of IgniteUI
I was a bit confused since this example works fine in .net core 2.2 https://www.igniteui.com/spreadsheet/aspnet-mvc
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.ui?view=netframework-4.8&viewFallbackFrom=netcore-2.2
I dont think the Infragistics Excel library depends on Windows.Web.UI Namespace. I will research this further. Meanwhile, did you try to use the library in .NET core and whats the progress on it ? You can always send us a sample that we can investigate and work on it for you.
