It will also take care of column name, column orders and date formats automatically or just define column name, order and date formats using attributes. It also provides multiple overloads for providing generating excel on specific location or having stream.
ExcelGenerator is available as a NuGet Package. Type the following command into NuGet Package Manager Console window to install it:
PM> Install-Package ExcelGenerator.net
Apply excel generator attributes to the properties that needs to be included in excel having multiple overloads for customizing name order and date formats.
Here County property will not be added in excel file as it doesn't have excel generator attribute
public class Model
{
[ExcelGenerator("First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[ExcelGenerator("Birth Date",dateFormat:"MMM dd, yyyy")]
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
[ExcelGenerator]
public string City { get; set; }
public string County { get; set; }
[ExcelGenerator("Email Address")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[ExcelGenerator(order: 3)]
public string Address { get; set; }
}Now load sample data
//Get sample data to generate excel
var data = GetSampleData();
public static List<Model> GetSampleData()
{
return new List<Model>
{
new Model { FirstName = "James", Address="6649 N Blue Gum St", City="New Orleans" , County="Orleans", Email="jbutt@gmail.com", DateOfBirth=DateTime.Now},
