// Add a reference to the DevExpress.Docs.dll assembly.
using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...

// Create a Workbook instance.
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

// Modify the workbook.
// ...

// Dispose the workbook.
workbook.Dispose();

VB.NET

' Add a reference to the DevExpress.Docs.dll assembly.
Imports DevExpress.Spreadsheet
' ...

' Create a Workbook instance.
Private workbook As New Workbook()

' ...

' Dispose the workbook.
workbook.Dispose()
