Can i use Aspose to create office file viewer?
Does it provide rendering of documents using the ActiveX?

Hi,

Aspose.Cells for .NET is just a class library to manage MS Excel spreadsheets. You may programmatically generate, modify, convert, render and print documents without utilizing Microsoft Excel®, it supports all the MS Excel file formats (e.g. XLS, XLSX, XLSM, CSV, Tab Delimited, ODS, PDF, HTML etc.). Also, it does not offer any UI for performing these document processing tasks. However, our sister company GroupDocs.com offers a viewer app (for office and other files) which you may consider including in your application to view the various file formats.


By the way, we have another independent web based grid control named Aspose.Cells.GridWeb that is bundled in Aspose.Cells for .NET package (when you download and install on your pc), that can be used to display or manipulate Excel files in WYSIWYG (visual manner), see the docs and demos for your reference:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/cellsnet/Aspose.Cells.GridWeb

Similarly we have Aspose.Cells.GridDesktop that is similar control as GridWeb but it is used for desktop/winform applications:

Thank you.
