.NET xlReader for Microsoft® Excel is a set of classes, specifically designed to read Microsoft® Excel files from .NET applications. The latest version of the component is implemented as a .NET Managed Provider with read-only capabilities which allow it to read data from native Microsoft® Excel files without the need to use Microsoft® Excel or any additional providers.
