Create xls file using com

[Eran.Yasso]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how can i create xls file?
i then need to write to it.
I am creating the file using File.Create(file.xls);
but ican't acces the file. i gt error that the file is read only.


TIA,

That is because File.Create returns an open stream for creating the
file contents. If you want to write to the file, use this stream. If
you want to write the file separately, simply close and dispose this
stream. Another approach for creating the empty file (2.0 only IIRC)
would be to call File.WriteAllBytes passing in an empty byte-array;
this should create the file (as empty) and close the handle.
