This example shows how to insert data into a worksheet by setting cell.Value = collection
public void Create()
{
var wb = new XLWorkbook();
var ws = wb.Worksheets.Add("Collections");
// From a list of strings
var listOfStrings = new List<String>();
listOfStrings.Add("House");
listOfStrings.Add("Car");
ws.Cell(1, 1).Value = "Strings";
ws.Cell(1, 1).AsRange().AddToNamed("Titles");
ws.Cell(2, 1).Value = listOfStrings;
// From a list of arrays
var listOfArr = new List<Int32[]>();
listOfArr.Add(new Int32[] { 1, 2, 3 });
listOfArr.Add(new Int32[] { 1 });
listOfArr.Add(new Int32[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 });
ws.Cell(1, 3).Value = "Arrays";
ws.Range(1, 3, 1, 8).Merge().AddToNamed("Titles");
ws.Cell(2, 3).Value = listOfArr;
// From a DataTable
var dataTable = GetTable();
ws.Cell(6, 1).Value = "DataTable";
ws.Range(6, 1, 6, 4).Merge().AddToNamed("Titles");
ws.Cell(7, 1).Value = dataTable.AsEnumerable();
// From a query
var list = new List<Person>();
list.Add(new Person() { Name = "John", Age = 30, House = "On Elm St." });
list.Add(new Person() { Name = "Mary", Age = 15, House = "On Main St." });
list.Add(new Person() { Name = "Luis", Age = 21, House = "On 23rd St." });
list.Add(new Person() { Name = "Henry", Age = 45, House = "On 5th Ave." });
var people = from p in list
where p.Age >= 21
select new { p.Name, p.House, p.Age };
ws.Cell(6, 6).Value = "Query";
ws.Range(6, 6, 6, 8).Merge().AddToNamed("Titles");
ws.Cell(7, 6).Value = people.AsEnumerable(); // Very Important to call the AsEnumerable method
// otherwise it won't be copied.
// Prepare the style for the titles
var titlesStyle = wb.Style;
titlesStyle.Font.Bold = true;
titlesStyle.Alignment.Horizontal = XLAlignmentHorizontalValues.Center;
titlesStyle.Fill.BackgroundColor = XLColor.Cyan;
// Format all titles in one shot
wb.NamedRanges.NamedRange("Titles").Ranges.Style = titlesStyle;
ws.Columns().AdjustToContents();
wb.SaveAs("Collections.xlsx");
