Pioneering .NET Spreadsheet Component
Spread has introduced a number of technologies to Microsoft developers all over the world, including the first full-featured spreadsheet component for Visual Basic, with the first spreadsheet designer, followed by Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET versions, and an array of new Excel-compatibility features and advanced customizations.


Embedded, Programmable Microsoft Excel Platform
Import Microsoft Excel documents and preserve complete formatting. Interact with the data in Spread within your application, then export your spreadsheets to Microsoft Excel for portability and distribution to your external customers. Spread supports the current versions of Excel, and supports multiple Excel file formats, including Excel (2007-current xlsx), Excel 97 (xls), comma-delimited (csv), and text (txt).



Dashboard - Data Visualization
Allow your data to tell stories through the data visualization functionality provided in Spread. Use Sparklines to provide small, focused cell-level charts to provide more meaning to your data. Use Camera Shapes to bring together content from various locations within a spreadsheet, even on different sheets, into a dashboard. In Spread, the Camera shape object provides a live view of a range of cells, including any values, formatting, shapes, charts, or other content. If the range of cells is updated or modified through user interaction, or programmatic updates, the Camera shape immediately refreshes to include the changes. Ranges with different column widths and row heights can be arranged together in the same sheet without affecting one another to create a customized report or interactive dashboard. Additional data visualization is provided in Spread through: Chart Support, Conditional Format, Filtering, and Grouping. View Data Visualization Examples.

Integrated Spreadsheet Chart Control
Create full-featured 2D and 3D charts within your spreadsheets. Chart types include Column, Line, Pie, Bar, Area, XY, Bubble, Stock, XYZ, Doughnut, Radar, and Polar. You can add charts through code by using the comprehensive chart object model, or without writing code, at design time by accessing the Spread Designer and Chart Designer. Charts can be bound to external data sources, and you can allow end user make changes to the chart formatting at run time. The fully integrated support for charts in Spread features built-in design dialogs that you can make available in your applications to allow your end-users to create and modify charts in Spread - just as in Microsoft Excel.
