Hi, you can also try GemBox.Spreadsheet componet, it doesn’t require MS Excel to be installed on machine and I think you will find it easy to use:
Here is an example how to [spam link removed] (XLS format) with one worksheet and inserted text “Sample text” into “A1″ cell:

C#

var workbook = new ExcelFile();

// Add new worksheet to Excel file.
var worksheet = workbook.Worksheets.Add("Sheet");

// Set the value of the cell "A1".
worksheet.Cells["A1"].Value = "Sample text";

// Save Excel file.
workbook.Save("Workbook.xls");

Also, for your application that copies HTML content to an Excel file, I think you will find the following article interesting – [spam link removed].

If you are using Excel 2007, you can use this article: Read and write Open XML files (MS Office 2007)[^]

There is also the Open XML SDK[^] from Microsoft - this article[^] explains how to use the SDK for Microsoft Word document, Excel documents are similar.
