The following tutorial walks you through creating a project in Visual Studio .NET using the Spread Windows Forms component. By creating a checkbook register, you will learn how to modify the appearance of a spreadsheet, work with cell types, and add some formulas for performing calculations.

If you would prefer to copy and paste the code in the following steps, or to simply view the code and move on to the next tutorial, you can open the register.aspx.cs (or .vb) file in the \Docs\TutorialFiles directory installed in the product installation directory. For more information about installed directories for Spread Windows Forms, see the Read Me file that accompanies the product.

In this tutorial, the major steps are:

• Adding Spread to the Checkbook Project
• Setting Up the Rows and Columns of the Register
• Setting the Cell Types of the Register
• Adding Formulas to Calculate Balances
