.NET version of the Apache POI (Java) project
This project is the .NET version of the Apache POI project (the Java API for Microsoft Documents). POI is an open source project which can help you read/write xls, doc, and ppt files, so it has wide applications. For example, you can use it to generate an Excel report without Microsoft Office suite installed on your server and it is more efficient than calling Microsoft Excel ActiveX in the background; you can also use it to extract text from Office documents to help you implement full-text indexing feature (most of time this feature is used to create search engines).
