Below are some links to some documentation (exported from my Favorites).
None, as I recall, is very complete. But each has been helpful to me to
some extent.
I have a VB.Net program which produces an Excel spreadsheet. But finding
decent documentation has been a real problem. Finding help has been
difficult too. There evidently must be few people doing this. But I have
looked for help mostly in newsgroups. Maybe more help would be available in
the many VB.Net fora. (Although in general I have found this newsgroup to
be an EXCELLENT source of help!)
I'll share any of my code with you,but note that it only does the basics and
is probably not industrial strength.
If I am recalling correctly I came across a book a while back which looked
like it would be helpful. But I just now looked on Amazon and did not find
anything which looked useful.
Good Luck, Bob
