Adding Anonymous or Custom Object into SmartMarkers

This explains how to import anonymous or custom objects into SmartMarkers.

Sometimes, you need to include custom objects as a data source to the SmartMarkers. Aspose.Cells makes it possible to use custom objects as the data source.

Please see the following sample code which shows how to add custom objects as a data source for SmartMarkers.

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-.NET
public class AddingAnonymousCustomObject
{
    public static void Run()
    {
        // The path to the documents directory.
        string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

        // Create directory if it is not already present.
        bool IsExists = System.IO.Directory.Exists(dataDir);
        if (!IsExists)
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(dataDir);

        // Open a designer workbook
        WorkbookDesigner designer = new WorkbookDesigner();

        // Get worksheet Cells collection
        Cells cells = designer.Workbook.Worksheets[0].Cells;

        // Set Cell Values
        cells["A1"].PutValue("Name");
        cells["B1"].PutValue("Age");

        // Set markers
        cells["A2"].PutValue("&=Person.Name");
        cells["B2"].PutValue("&=Person.Age");

        // Create Array list
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList();

        // Add custom objects to the list
        list.Add(new Person("Simon", 30));
        list.Add(new Person("Johnson", 33));

        // Add designer's datasource
        designer.SetDataSource("Person", list);

        // Process designer
        designer.Process(false);
        dataDir = dataDir + "result.out.xls";
        // Save the resultant file
        designer.Workbook.Save(dataDir);

        Console.WriteLine("\nProcess completed successfully.\nFile saved at " + dataDir);
    }
}

public class Person
{
		public String Name;
		public int Age;
		internal Person(string name,int age)
		{
		    this.Name = name;
		    this.Age = age;
		}
}
