I think Spreadsheet Gear (also not free) may have a WPF control, they has a Silverlight control and it was reasonably useful for a simplistic solution we needed it for.

Well, I looked around for an adequate excel-like wpf spreadsheet control, and found a product called "ReoGrid". I'll give it a shot to adapt my code to it for an article. Maybe it does formulas better...

Agree... my wife is very smart (Dr. med.) but coming to gadgets and computers... it hurts to see her using her laptop :rolleyes: :rolleyes: But hey... I am still very lucky, I don't get "My computer is not working" more than 1 or 2 times per year
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
You are lucky. My wife managed to infect her PC twice in a month by clicking literally anything in Facebook. That's when I took away the admin rights from her.

Amen. I fleshed out over-the-top detection algorithms with 99.6% accuracy (wrt the 64% of previous one) and managed to squeeze its maximum 13 ms completion time in 4.5 ms. No one batted an eye. I made a bunch of 5-8 lines utility functions and "Woah! Amazing!".

I thought your arsenal was your superpower. Arrogance is just part of your charm ;P :-D :laugh:

Whena you can single-handedly face a fairly sized battallion it's hard not to get a bit arrogant :D ;P

Well, I just checked out "ReoGrid", and in a nutshell, it's crap. It was easy enough to get a spreadsheet control in a window, but after loading a file, the displayed data is, well, not displayed. A quick check with the debugger shows that the control is actually loaded with the intended file, and shows the correct number of columns and rows, but the display shows nothing, even if I highlight a range of cells. The search for a free spreadsheet control continues.

SyncFusion has a free version of their stuff that doesn't appear to be time limited. I'll check that out.

Yeah - I blasted him about my problem already because that's the only way I could find to contact him.

I wrote a wizard app for one of our co-workers that merges two Excel spreadsheets by matching selected columns based on one or more matching criteria (this column value == that column value), and combining the selected columns into a single file. I essentially reduced a 2-5 day process (depending on the size of the two datasets) to no more than an hour. The reason it takes an hour is because the half-assed Telerik spreadsheet control/document code doesn't understand formulas very well, and also doesn't support Date column types, so the user has to manually modify the merged data to suit their ultimate needs. I would write an article, but the code relies on the Telerik WPF library, which is not free.

Yeah I know this kind of feeling from my coworkers. It is great feeling. I am doing this kind of things, but I stick to VBA and all the tools are in an .xla file for the company.

People that don't live in front of a computer aren't primitive. They simply have different interests and therefore know different things. Thinking you're better than someone for knowing more than someone in *your* field isn't advanced - it's arrogant.

It's also possible that your psychic powers are not quite as good as you imagined, and that you impugned me with malicious motives that were simply never present. I was merely making an on-topic literary allusion, but you went all white knight trying to defend people who were never attacked in the first place to make you feel better about yourself at my expense.
