How To Create Chm File From Word

This article describes how to get started with the non-visual Spreadsheet component for .NET Framework and .NET Core.

Create a .NET Framework Application

Start Visual Studio and create a new Console Application (.NET Framework) project.
Install the DevExpress.Document.Processor NuGet package or add references to the following libraries (if you have the DevExpress Unified Component Installer installed on your machine):
- DevExpress.Charts.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Data.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.DataAccess.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.DataVisualization.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Docs.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.Office.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Pdf.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Printing.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Sparkline.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.TreeMap.v21.2.Core.dll
- DevExpress.XtraCharts.v21.2.dll
- DevExpress.XtraTreeMap.v21.2.dll

Open the Program.cs (Module1.vb) file. Paste the code below in the Main method of the Program class (Main procedure of the Module1 module in Visual Basic).

C#
VB.NET

                  using DevExpress.Spreadsheet; using System.Drawing;  namespace SpreadsheetConsoleApp {     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             // Create a new workbook.             using (Workbook workbook = new Workbook())             {                 // Access the first worksheet in the workbook.                 Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];                  // Set the unit of measurement.                 workbook.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Point;                  workbook.BeginUpdate();                 try                 {                     // Create a multiplication table.                     worksheet.Cells["A1"].Value = "*";                     for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)                     {                         // Create the header column.                         worksheet.Columns["A"][i].Value = i;                         // Create the header row.                         worksheet.Rows["1"][i].Value = i;                     }                      // Multiply values of header cells.                     worksheet.Range["B2:K11"].Formula = "=B$1*$A2";                      // Obtain the data range.                     CellRange tableRange = worksheet.GetDataRange();                      // Specify the row height and column width.                     tableRange.RowHeight = 40;                     tableRange.ColumnWidth = 40;                      // Align the table content.                     tableRange.Alignment.Horizontal = SpreadsheetHorizontalAlignment.Center;                     tableRange.Alignment.Vertical = SpreadsheetVerticalAlignment.Center;                      // Fill the header cells.                     CellRange headerCells = worksheet.Range.Union(worksheet.Range["A1:K1"],                          worksheet.Range["A2:A11"]);                     headerCells.FillColor = Color.FromArgb(0xf7, 0x9b, 0x77);                     headerCells.Font.Bold = true;                      // Fill cells that contain multiplication results.                     worksheet.Range["B2:K11"].FillColor = Color.FromArgb(0xfe, 0xf2, 0xe4);                 }                 finally                 {                     workbook.EndUpdate();                 }                  // Calculate the workbook.                 workbook.Calculate();                  // Save the document file under the specified name.                 workbook.SaveDocument("TestDoc.xlsx", DocumentFormat.OpenXml);                  // Export the document to PDF.                 workbook.ExportToPdf("TestDoc.pdf");             }             // Open the PDF document using the default viewer.             System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("TestDoc.pdf");              // Open the XLSX document using the default application.             System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("TestDoc.xlsx");         }     } }

Run the project.
