Parameters

stream: Stream from which to load the data

Return Value

Boolean: true if successful; false otherwise

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	No stream specified or specified stream is null

This method opens a stream, which means replacing anything in the spreadsheet and overwriting it with the contents of the stream. If you want to load only the data into the existing spreadsheet without overwriting anything else, use the SheetView's LoadTextFile method.

This example opens a file.

C#

FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread fpSpread1 = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.FpSpread();
FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView shv = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.SheetView();
fpSpread1.Location = new Point(10, 10);
fpSpread1.Height = 200;
fpSpread1.Width = 400;
Controls.Add(fpSpread1);
fpSpread1.Sheets.Add(shv);
string fileName;
fileName = "..\\..\\bin\\testsaveopen.xml";
System.IO.Stream stream; 
stream = System.IO.File.Open(fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
fpSpread1.Open(stream);
