    Exporting Excel files to SVG (VB.Net / netframework)

    Note

    This demo is available in your FlexCel installation at <FlexCel Install Folder>\samples\vb\VS2022\netframework\25.Printing and Exporting\42.Export SVG and also at https:​//​github.​com/​tmssoftware/​TMS-​FlexCel.​NET-​demos/​tree/​master/​vb/​VS2022/​netframework/​Modules/​25.​Printing and Exporting/42.Export SVG

    Overview

    FlexCel can natively export an Excel file to SVG (Scalar Vector Graphics)

    Concepts

    • When exporting to SVG you are going to get an image per page exported, so we use an action to notify the correct filename for each page.

    ' General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following 
    ' set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
    ' associated with an assembly.
    '
    <Assembly: AssemblyTitle("")>
    <Assembly: AssemblyDescription("")>
    <Assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")>
    <Assembly: AssemblyCompany("")>
    <Assembly: AssemblyProduct("")>

    ' Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
    '
    '      Major Version
    '      Minor Version 
    '      Build Number
    '      Revision
    '
    ' You can specify all the values or you can default the Revision and Build Numbers 
    ' by using the '*' as shown below:
    
    <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("6.2.1.0")>
    
    '
    ' In order to sign your assembly you must specify a key to use. Refer to the 
    ' Microsoft .NET Framework documentation for more information on assembly signing.
    '
    ' Use the attributes below to control which key is used for signing. 
    '
    ' Notes: 
    '   (*) If no key is specified, the assembly is not signed.
    '   (*) KeyName refers to a key that has been installed in the Crypto Service
    '       Provider (CSP) on your machine. KeyFile refers to a file which contains
    '       a key.
    '   (*) If the KeyFile and the KeyName values are both specified, the 
    '       following processing occurs:
    '       (1) If the KeyName can be found in the CSP, that key is used.
    '       (2) If the KeyName does not exist and the KeyFile does exist, the key 
    '           in the KeyFile is installed into the CSP and used.
    '   (*) In order to create a KeyFile, you can use the sn.exe (Strong Name) utility.
    '       When specifying the KeyFile, the location of the KeyFile should be
    '       relative to the project output directory which is
    '       %Project Directory%\obj\<configuration>. For example, if your KeyFile is
    '       located in the project directory, you would specify the AssemblyKeyFile 
    '       attribute as [assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("..\\..\\mykey.snk")]
    '   (*) Delay Signing is an advanced option - see the Microsoft .NET Framework
    '       documentation for more information on this.
