Workbook.LoadDocument(Byte[]) Method
Loads a document from a byte array.
Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet
Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v19.1.dll
Declaration
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
buffer | Byte[] | A byte array that contains document data. |
Returns
Type | Description |
---|---|
Boolean | true, if the document was loaded successfully; otherwise, false. |
Remarks
The Spreadsheet uses the built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation to detect the format of the loaded document.
If the format detection fails, the Workbook.InvalidFormatException event fires.
Handle the Workbook.DocumentLoaded event to determine when you can safely modify the loaded document.
You can use the current LoadDocument method overload to load a workbook stored in an external database. Refer to the How to: Store a Workbook in the Database document for more information.
// Add a reference to the DevExpress.Docs.dll assembly.
using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
// Save a document to a byte array to store it in a database.
byte[] docBytes = workbook.SaveDocument(DocumentFormat.Xlsx);
// ...
// Load the saved document from a byte array into the Workbook instance.
workbook.LoadDocument(docBytes);
