Getting Started

You can easily use «UseOffice .Net» in any .NET Framework or .NET Core application. Because of the component is completely written in C# managed code.

1. Launch Microsoft's Visual Studio.

2. Create a new project or open an existing.

3. Add a reference to sautinsoft.useoffice:

   You may do this by two ways:

   1. Using Nuget (fast way):

      (Solution Explorer->right click by "References"->Manage Nuget Packages...->In the tab "Browse" type "sautinsoft" and find the "sautinsoft.useoffice")

      

   2. Second (old good way): Adding a reference to the "UseOffice.dll" file:

      First of all, download the UseOffice .Net package. Unzip it at any place in your computer and find the assembly file "UseOffice.dll".

      (Solution Explorer->right click by "References"->Add Reference...->Browse "UseOffice.dll")

      

Note
