Remarks
Note
When you finish working with the IXlSheet object, call the Dispose method to release all the resources used by the object. Otherwise, generated content is not written to the output file. You can also modify the IXlSheet object within the using statement (Using block in Visual Basic).
Example
The example below demonstrates how to add a worksheet to a workbook. To do this, use the IXlDocument.CreateSheet method.
To specify a worksheet name, use the IXlSheet.Name property. When naming a worksheet, take into account the constraints listed in the How to: Set a Worksheet Name document. If you do not specify a worksheet name, the default name “SheetN” is used, where N is a sequential number of a worksheet within a workbook.
