( 13 ) Office 2007 Coding With Excel And Excel Services

This document provides instructions for a lab on coding with Excel and Excel Services. It involves publishing an Excel workbook to a document library as a trusted file location, then developing a C# console application that uses the Excel Services Web Service to call the workbook, pass in parameters, retrieve calculation results, and display them. The lab demonstrates how to incorporate spreadsheet logic into applications while protecting proprietary information on the server. Completing the lab takes an estimated 60 minutes and involves publishing the workbook, setting up the trusted location, adding a web reference, coding the application to open the workbook, set cell values, calculate, get results and close the session, building the project, and running the application with sample inputs to test it.
