To create a Excel sheet with Formating from CSV File wihtout Excel object model.

Read the CSV file and then use the header for the Excel sheet to create the Excel file with formating and we can create any number of sheets which can be read from the Comma seperated file(CSV).



Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        lblImportFileName.Text = ""

End Sub



 
    '''Header for the Excel file with Style to format the excel file
    ''' 

    ''' 
    Private sHeader As String = "" + _
    "    "xmlns:x=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"" xmlns:ss=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"" " + _
    "xmlns:html=""http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"">" + _
    "  False" + _
    "False  " + _
    "" + _
    "" + _
    "" + _
    "" + _
    ""

'Path of the Excel file
    Dim Strpath As String = "C:\Users\" & Environment.UserName & "\Desktop\test.xls"



Private sFooter As String = "

"

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
Dim SWorksheet As String

Try
Dim rnd As Random = New Random()
Dim i As Integer = rnd.Next()
'For each worksheet we need to add the sheetname and other properties
SWorksheet = "" + _
"" + _
"" + _
"" + _
"" + _
"" + _
""

If lblImportFileName.Text = "" Or Strpath = "" Then
MsgBox("Please select a file to import in CSV format and also a destination file location and name.")
End If

'To read the CSV file
Dim MyReader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser(lblImportFileName.Text)
MyReader.TextFieldType = FileIO.FieldType.Delimited
MyReader.SetDelimiters("\\\")

Dim filewriter As System.IO.StreamWriter
Dim fileReader As System.IO.StreamReader

'To check the file is already exists or not
If System.IO.File.Exists(Strpath) Then
'to read the Previous Worksbook and get all the perviously work sheet
fileReader = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileReader(Strpath)
Dim strWorkbook As String = fileReader.ReadToEnd()

'to remove the Workbook and add the workbook after the new work sheet is added.
strWorkbook = strWorkbook.Replace("", "")
fileReader.Close()
fileReader.Dispose()
'Open the file to write
filewriter = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(Strpath, False)
'Write the Previous values in the new excel file
filewriter.Write(strWorkbook)
'New work sheet creation
filewriter.Write(SWorksheet)
Else
'If the file is not found then create a new excel file.
filewriter = My.Computer.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter(Strpath, False)
filewriter.Write(sHeader)
filewriter.Write(SWorksheet)
End If

'Read the file and add the Values from CSV.

Dim currentRow As String()
While Not MyReader.EndOfData
Try
currentRow = MyReader.ReadFields()
Dim currentField As String

filewriter.Write("")
For Each currentField In currentRow
filewriter.Write("" + currentField + "")
Next
filewriter.Write("")
Catch ex As Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.MalformedLineException
MsgBox("Line " & ex.Message & "is not valid and will be skipped.")
End Try
End While
filewriter.Write(sFooter)
filewriter.Close()
lblexcelfile.Text = Strpath
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
MsgBox("Done")
End Sub
