Namespace: DevExpress.XtraSpreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraSpreadsheet.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool LoadDocument(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat format
)

VB.NET

Public Function LoadDocument(
    stream As Stream,
    format As DocumentFormat
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	The stream from which to load a document.
format	DocumentFormat	One of the DocumentFormat members.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if a document is loaded successfully; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The IWorkbook interface provides the equivalent method.

If the data you are trying to load has an incorrect format, the SpreadsheetControl.InvalidFormatException event fires. You can subscribe to this event and perform required actions to resolve this situation (for example, inform an end-user about the incorrect file). To throw an exception on loading an invalid document, set the WorkbookImportOptions.ThrowExceptionOnInvalidDocument property to true (import options are accessible via the SpreadsheetControl.Options.Import notation).

To determine the moment you can safely modify a loaded document, handle the SpreadsheetControl.DocumentLoaded event.
