How to import data from 2D array to XLS spreadsheet with Spreadsheet SDK

The samples below show importing data from a two-dimensional array (2D array) to XLS spreadsheet in C# and Visual Basic .NET with Bytescout Spreadsheet SDK.

C#

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

namespace Bytescout.Spreadsheet.Demo.Csharp.ImportFrom2DArray
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            const string fileName = "CSharpImportFrom2DArray.xls";
            
            // Create a new spreadsheet
            Spreadsheet spreadsheet = new Spreadsheet();

            // Get the data from the 2D array that we want to import
            string[,] stockPrices = Get2DArray();

            // Import data into spreadheet
            spreadsheet.ImportFrom2DArray(stockPrices);

            // Save the spreadsheet
            if (File.Exists(fileName)) File.Delete(fileName);
            spreadsheet.SaveAs(fileName);

            // Close spreadsheet
            spreadsheet.Close();

            // Open the spreadsheet
            Process.Start(fileName);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Creates a 2D array of stock prices
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>2d array of stock prices</returns>
        private static string[,] Get2DArray()
        {
            string[,] stockPrices = new string[10, 2];

            stockPrices[0, 0] = "AAPL"; stockPrices[0, 1] = "24.89";
            stockPrices[1, 0] = "AMZN"; stockPrices[1, 1] = "27.95";
            stockPrices[2, 0] = "DELL"; stockPrices[2, 1] = "12.68";
            stockPrices[3, 0] = "EBAY"; stockPrices[3, 1] = "57.27";
            stockPrices[4, 0] = "GOOG"; stockPrices[4, 1] = "28.98";

            stockPrices[5, 0] = "IBM "; stockPrices[5, 1] = "24.00";
            stockPrices[6, 0] = "INTC"; stockPrices[6, 1] = "12.24";
            stockPrices[7, 0] = "MSFT"; stockPrices[7, 1] = "37.85";
            stockPrices[8, 0] = "SNE "; stockPrices[8, 1] = "39.91";
            stockPrices[9, 0] = "YHOO"; stockPrices[9, 1] = "78.72";

            return stockPrices;
        }

    }
}
