Saving to a Spread XML File

You can save the data or the data and formatting in an FpSpread component to a Spread XML file or to a stream. When you save, all sheets in the component are saved to the file or stream or a specific sheet can be saved. If you choose to save the formatting, the data saved includes formatting characters, such as currency symbols, and other information such as cell types are also saved.

You can also save a file from inside Spread Designer.

Refer to the SheetView class Save methods.
