    string documentId,
    DocumentFormat documentFormat,
    Func<byte[]> contentAccessorByBytes
)

Remarks

This method overload allows you to disable automatic format detection and improve performance when the Spreadsheet opens a document. Call the Open(String, Func<Byte[]>) method to determine the document’s format automatically when you open a document. Refer to the following section for more information: Open a Document from a Byte Array.

The example below demonstrates how to open a document from a byte array:

Index.cshtml

@model SpreadsheetDocumentContent

@(Html.DevExpress()
    .Spreadsheet("spreadsheet")
    .Open(@Model.DocumentId, DocumentFormat.Xlsx, @Model.ContentAccessorByBytes)
)

SpreadsheetControler.cs

public IActionResult Index() {
    byte[] byteArrayAccessor() => System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("your-file-path");
    var model = new SpreadsheetDocumentContent("DocumentId1", byteArrayAccessor);
    return View(model);
}

SpreadsheetDocumentContent.cs

public class SpreadsheetDocumentContent {
    public string DocumentId { get; set; }
    public Func<byte[]> ContentAccessorByBytes { get; set; }
    public DocumentFormat DocumentFormat { get; set; } = DocumentFormat.Xlsx;
    public SpreadsheetDocumentContent(string documentId, Func<byte[]> contentAccessorByBytes) {
        DocumentId = documentId;
        ContentAccessorByBytes = contentAccessorByBytes;
    }
}
