Hi I am using closedxML DLL for exporting to excel i have static method like this below
public static void WriteToExcel(string fileName, List<CP> pages)
{
var wb = new XLWorkbook();
byte[] file;
var ws = wb.Worksheets.Add("CPs");
WriteCostHeader(ws);
////write all the header columns
//for (int i = 0; i < pages.Count; i++)
int iRow = 2;
foreach(var page in pages)
{
WriteCostPage(ws, page, iRow++);
WriteCostItemHead(ws, iRow++);
foreach(var item in page.Items)
{
WriteCostItem(ws, item, iRow++);
}
iRow++;
}
wb.SaveAs(fileName);
}
I am calling above function in a method like this below
public static List<CP> Init()
{
//binding items to to list
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
byte[] file;
file = ExcelProvider.WriteToExcel("D:\\Temp\\Test1.xls", Init());
//Console.WriteLine("done");
//Console.ReadLine();
}
public byte[] CreatePackage()
{
string fileName = string.Format("{0}.xlsx", "Generated");
byte[] excelFile;
// getting error here cannot convert void to byte[]
excelFile = ExcelProvider.WriteToExcel(fileName, Init());
}
but i need to get that result excel sheet in bytes, I need to store it in memory stream later i can use for further purpose ..
But I am not sure how can i get the created excel file in bytes format...
Would any one pls give any idea or solutions on this one ... Many thanks In advance ...
