using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using Bytescout.Spreadsheet;

namespace HelloWorld
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create new Spreadsheet
Spreadsheet document = new Spreadsheet(“Data.xls”);

// Get worksheet by name
Worksheet worksheet = document.Workbook.Worksheets.ByName(“Sample”);

// Years range
int RangeMin = 10;
int RangeMax = 19;

// Minimum age
DateTime YearMin = DateTime.Now;
// Maximum age
DateTime YearMax = DateTime.Now;

// Minimum year
YearMax = YearMax.AddYears(-RangeMin);
// Maximum year
YearMin = YearMin.AddYears(-RangeMax);

// Check dates
for (int i = 1; i < 8; i++)
{
// Set current cell
Cell currentCell = worksheet.Cell(i, 1);

// Create birth date
int daysBorn = System.Convert.ToInt32(currentCell.Value);

DateTime dateBirth = DateTime.FromOADate(daysBorn);

// Check current cell
if (dateBirth < YearMin || dateBirth > YearMax)
{
// Set fill pattern
currentCell.FillPattern = Bytescout Spreadsheet.Constants.PatternStyle.Solid;

// Markup wrong cell by red color
currentCell.FillPatternForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}

// Set cell format
currentCell.NumberFormat = “dd.mm.yyyy”;
}

// Save document
document.SaveAs(“CheckedData.xls”);

// Close document
document.Close();

// open generated XLS document in default program
Process.Start(“CheckedData.xls”);
