Docs: SpeedGen ASP: Delivering Spreadsheets through the Browser

You can deliver generated spreadsheets to the Client in 2 ways:

Stream Generated Spreadsheet to Client Browser

You can choose to Open the Spreadsheet in-place in the Client's Browser or you can Open the Spreadsheet in Excel outside of the Browser. You can control these things with the Generate method.

Streaming Spreadsheets to the user can sometimes cause problems, especially when viewing them inside of the Browser. These are caused by Browser and Excel bugs, quirks and behaviors. The KnowledgeBase has answers to many such common problems.

Example of Opening the Spreadsheet In-Place

Save Generated Spreadsheet Locally on Server

You can also save the Spreadsheet directly to the Server. Then you could link to the generated Excel file directly.

This can be useful if you have extremely heavy server load or if you are generating very complex spreadsheets, very large spreadsheets.

Use the SaveLocally method to Save Generated Workbooks to a File
