XLSConverterX is an ActiveX component designed to assist you, the developer, in quickly adding an Excel conversion/manipulation utility to your applications. XLSConverterX is designed to manipulate comma delimited CSV, MS Excel files, and any files MS Excel can open. A tool like this can be very helpful when you need to move, convert or manipulate Excel-like data. HTML, Text, RTF and CSV are available for conversion as well as several database formats and older versions of Excel, beginning with version 2.0. XLSConverterX encapsulates all the details required for quick integration. Furthermore, an extensive sample Visual Basic application is provided to get you up to speed quickly and demonstrates XLSConverterX’s capability and usability. Although you may not be using Visual Basic, the approach for all development environments will be similar. Simply install the product, and add the component to your development environment. Once in place, the routines can be accessed to programmatically convert and manipulate Excel files. The code required to integrate this component in an application is relatively small considering the functionality it provides.
