Can someone show me the steps, including references and namespaces required, to open an XML file and save it as an Excel spreadsheet WITH AN .XLS extension programatically using VB.net (VS 2003)?
The XML file I created is very large. If I manually open the XML file it opens in Excel but takes a very long time to do so. If I then save that file as an .xls file it saves everything but the overhead is considerable reduced so the resulting file is considerably smaller. How can I do this programatically?
Thank you.
