| Jun 18, 2020 at 17:34 | comment | added | Britt Kelly | EPPlus is LGPL up to version 5. If you use version 5 or above in your code, an exception will be thrown if you do not have a license key. | |

Add license change to EPPlus (no longer free for commercial use)

Codeplex will soon be shutting down, changed link of EPPlus to the new official GitHub site.

| Oct 28, 2015 at 15:06 | comment | added | Chris | ExcelLibrary doesn't work anymore. If you want to write Excel 2003 files (.xls) this library is working great: CSharpJExcel sourceforge.net/projects/jexcelapi Make sure to download the C# port. | |
| Jan 27, 2015 at 20:48 | comment | added | Beep beep | EPPlus is actually still technically GPL because it is a derived work (i.e. the code base is still based off of ExcelLibrary, and since that is GPL so is EPPlus ... you can't make some changes to GPL code and slap a LGPL license on it). Does anyone know of a way to write to Excel using either commercial code or true LGPL (or similarly licensed code). | |
| Feb 22, 2014 at 9:44 | comment | added | ta.speot.is | -1 If you're going to post sample code you might as well make sure it's correct. Use the Dispose method of this interface to explicitly release unmanaged resources in conjunction with the garbage collector. The consumer of an object can call this method when the object is no longer needed. | |

| Jan 26, 2012 at 23:21 | comment | added | Seth | EPPlus seems far less buggy than ExcelLibrary, BUT it is GPL and therefore only a solution for open source projects. | |
| Oct 18, 2011 at 23:17 | comment | added | rossisdead | It should be noted that ExcelLibrary has a lot of performance issues when dealing with large datasets(larger than 5000 rows with lots of columns). Currently doing a heavy modification of the code base at work so we can use it in a project. | |

| Nov 4, 2010 at 0:11 | comment | added | Mark A | ExcelLibrary has been superseded by the exceptional EPPlus - epplus.codeplex.com. Jan updates it regularly. Have been using it and it is one of the finest open source projects we've worked with. | |
