Question

I am succesfully binding XSD to Excel using Interop (C#) and XPath.

However, there is one thing I am unable to succeed at.

When using the Developer toolbar in Excel it is possible to bind an entire XSD to a cell. This creates some sort of merged row in the Excel sheet for all the attributes in the node. When expanding this row one can receive multiple values for each attribute from XML.

I would like to have this behaviour as well in the code I wrote, but so far I have only been able to map attributes sepperatly to a single cell.

So the question is:
Can I bind an entire Node to a cell using interop? Instead of binding the attributes sepperatly.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It seems that I have figured out what to do.

I was creating a List object for each cell and then binding it using xpath.

What I had to do was span the List object over multiple columns (using a range object), and then bind each cell in the list using xpath.
