i am now working on a financial calculating application, in which there
are so many number cells to calculate. the relation between them are
very like the formula in MS Excel, we need all result numbers can be
real time updated when the source numbers changed (either by programming
or by user operations). our first consideration is about excel addin
programming, and the second is AxSpreadsheet, one of MS Office Web
Controls, which behaves like excel but it is a standalone control.

i am now thinking if i can get out of MS Excel related development, then
we can get more freedom if someday the Excel programming model changed,
and in fact some users of this application also consider a non-Excel
program as a better choice. i've no idea now, but if somebody here have
some good suggestions about this, for example, a better spreadsheet
platform, or code libraries to implement, i'll really enjoy :)

thanks for listenning
 
Hi Wayne,

If you're still looking, Spread for Windows Forms may be a better
choice. It is a spreadsheet component - not a grid - that is fully
compatible with importing/exporting Excel files in its native BIFF8
format and supports over 300 built-in functions as well as cross-sheet
referencing and many other spreadsheet options.

Here's the link for more information:
