This example demonstrates how to add a new worksheet to a workbook. To do this, use the WorksheetCollection.Add method of the WorksheetCollection collection accessed via Workbook.Worksheets.
To insert a worksheet at the specified position in the WorksheetCollection collection, call the WorksheetCollection.Insert method with the passed worksheet zero-based index.
To specify a worksheet name, use the Worksheet.Name property or pass the worksheet name to the WorksheetCollection.Add or WorksheetCollection.Insert method as a parameter. When naming a worksheet, take into account the constraints listed in the How to: Rename a Worksheet document.
// Add a new worksheet to the workbook. The worksheet will be inserted into the end of the existing worksheet collection
// under the name "SheetN", where N is a number following the largest number used in worksheet names in the previously existing collection.
workbook.Worksheets.Add();
// Add a new worksheet under the specified name.
workbook.Worksheets.Add().Name = "TestSheet1";
workbook.Worksheets.Add("TestSheet2");
// Add a new worksheet to the specified position in the collection of worksheets.
workbook.Worksheets.Insert(1, "TestSheet3");
workbook.Worksheets.Insert(3);
