Update from version 2.4 to 2.8 problems

Aspose.Cells Product Family
1

Hi,

I have updated from the version 2.4.2.0 to the version 2.8.6.1 and I'm having the following problems:

- The method 'SetActiveSheet' of the object 'Worksheets' does not exist.

- The property 'Orientation' of the object 'Style' does not exists.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />


- When I try to open the ‘Api reference’ I’m obtaining the following error:

Cannot open the file: md:@MSITStore:c:\program files\aspose\aspose.excel\help\aspose.excel.chm

Please, can you help me?

Thanks in advance

Enric.

Hi Enric,

SetActiveSheet method is replaced with Worksheets.ActiveSheetIndex property.

Style.Orientation property is replaced with Style.Rotation property.

@e.boadaa3software,
Aspose.Excel is discarded and is replaced with Aspose.Cells. This new product contains a lot of features to access worksheets in a variety of ways including access to active worksheet. Similarly, you can set text rotation using the the Style object’s RotationAngle property. Here is an example to set active worksheet programatically.

//Open the excel file.

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

//Declare a Worksheet object.

Worksheet newWorksheet;

//Add 5 new worksheets to the workbook and fill some data

//into the cells.

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{

    //Add a worksheet to the workbook.

    newWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets[workbook.Worksheets.Add()];

    //Name the sheet.

    newWorksheet.Name = "New_Sheet" + (i + 1).ToString();

    //Get the Cells collection.

    Cells cells = newWorksheet.Cells;

    //Input a string value to a cell of the sheet.

    cells[i, i].PutValue("New_Sheet" + (i + 1).ToString());

}

//Activate the first worksheet by default.

workbook.Worksheets.ActiveSheetIndex = 0;

//Save As the excel file.

workbook.Save("out_My_Book1.xls");

Similarly to set the orientation of the text, refer to the following sample code:

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET

// Instantiating a Workbook object
Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

// Obtaining the reference of the worksheet
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

// Accessing the "A1" cell from the worksheet
Aspose.Cells.Cell cell = worksheet.Cells["A1"];

// Adding some value to the "A1" cell
cell.PutValue("Visit Aspose!");

// Setting the horizontal alignment of the text in the "A1" cell
Style style = cell.GetStyle();
            
// Setting the rotation of the text (inside the cell) to 25
style.RotationAngle = 25;

cell.SetStyle(style);

// Saving the Excel file
workbook.Save(dataDir + "book1.out.xls", SaveFormat.Excel97To2003);

Refer to the following article for more information on orientation and alignment:
