Aspose.Excel.Express will be defined as an express version of Aspose.Excel. It will utilize the Smart Marker technique to offer ease-of-use for both developers and end users.

Aspose.Excel.Express will import any Excel designer spreadsheet you create and populate it with your data using Smart Marker technique. It will support most Excel features, from Excel97 to Excel2003.

It’s easy to create an Excel file with Aspose.Excel.Express, only 3 steps.

  1. Create the designer spreadsheet
  2. Populate your data in a few lines of code. You can refer to the source code of Smart Marker demo after you install Aspose.Excel setup msi.
  3. Generate the result Excel file.

Thanks for your valuable input in advance.

Do you have trouble to run our online demo at



You can deploy Aspose.Excel to GAC to solve this problem.

Online deom works fine. The problem appeared when I’ve uninstalled Aspose.Excel and installed it again in order to get the new samples which include SmartMarker.
The whole demo code stopped working after that, however my project that uses Excel works fine. Could you please explain about putting Aspose to GAC in more details. Also, why was it working before? have you done any changes to the demo?

My company bought unlimited licence for Aspose Report. I’ve tried to include Excel.SetLicense in to your demo files, but that did not help.

Never meet problem before. And this problem has nothing to do with Aspose.Exel but a setting problem.

Please check if your re-installed dll is higher than v2.3.1.1.

About deploying dll to GAC(Global Assembly Cache), you can do it by this:

Go to Control Panel-> Administration Tools -> Microsoft .NET Framework configuration -> My Computer -> Assembly Cache -> Add
