I am trying to implement an excel file download functionality in my asp.net MVC application and using NPOI.
The file has three sheets and Sheet2 has two activex buttons.
I am reading the source file, adding values to sheet2, save it in temporary location and download the file later using the following code.
using (var fs = new FileStream(xlsFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
var templateWorkbook = new XSSFWorkbook(fs);
//Sheet update operation done here
fs.Close();
var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
templateWorkbook.Write(memoryStream);
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(groupDocumentPath, memoryStream.ToArray());
}
Issue: Because of the activex control the downloaded file is corrupt and when trying to open the file it is throwing an error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<recoveryLog xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main"><logFileName>error728720_01.xml</logFileName><summary>Errors were detected in file 'C:\Users\dsekaran\Downloads\5B87FFF306BE8040D10B702 (5).xlsm'</summary><repairedParts><repairedPart>Repaired Part: /xl/worksheets/sheet2.xml part with XML error. Catastrophic failure Line 1, column 0.</repairedPart></repairedParts><repairedRecords><repairedRecord>Repaired Records: Drawing from /xl/drawings/drawing1.xml part (Drawing shape)</repairedRecord></repairedRecords></recoveryLog>
Clarification: Does this mean NPOI doesn't support activex buttons? What can be done to overcome this issue?
