Question

I am working on a Openxml Excel Processing project. In a certain class I have the Row object.
Can I get the current Spreadsheet of this Row object using only Row object?

Answer 1

You could use the Parent property of your Row instance to
navigate to the Worksheet the row belongs to.

The following MSDN article on the Row class clearly says that the only parent element
of a Row instance is the SheetData object the row belongs to.
The only possible Parent object of the SheetData object is the
Worksheet instance (please see the following MSDN article on the SheetData class for more information).

Example:

The following example shows how to navigate to the Worksheet
a given Row instance belongs to. For convenience I’ve created
a extension method:

public static class RowExtensionMethods
{
  public static Worksheet GetWorksheet(this Row r)
  {
    if (r.Parent == null)
    {
      throw new InvalidOperationException("Row does not belong to sheetdata.");
    }

    if (r.Parent.Parent == null)
    {
      throw new InvalidOperationException("Row does not belong to worksheet.");
    }

    return (Worksheet)r.Parent.Parent;
  }
}


// Then in your method use the extension method like so
public void YourMethod(Row r)
{
  Worksheet w = r.GetWorksheet();

  // Do something with the worksheet...
}
