Hi,
Is there a way to read excel files in a windows 8 store app? I don't want to use service to read excel file and return the data. And also, Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel namespace is not accessible in a metro app.
Check this http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4fce4765-2d05-4a2b-8d0a-6219e87f3307/reading-excel-file-using-c-in-winrt-platform
I was able to read xlsx file by following in instructions in above link. But how to read xls files?
xls files are not in xml format. So is there any way to convert xls files to xlsx format programmatically?
