This topic describes how to build Razor Pages and MVC Web Apps with the Spreadsheet component.

Before start, you should configure your Visual Studio project to use the Spreadsheet component.

Configure Razor Pages Web Apps

If you use a Spreadsheet in a Razor Pages web app, make the following adjustments:

1. Create a Razor Page. In the page model, implement POST and GET request handlers that return a SpreadsheetRequestProcessor response.

2. Pass the handler URL to the DocumentRequestHandlerUrl(String) method.

3. Add an anti‑forgery token to every internal request the Spreadsheet sends to action handlers.

2. Use the Spreadsheet helper to add a spreadsheet to a Razor file (.cshtml):

3. To mitigate Cross‑Site Request Forgery (CSRF/XSRF) attacks, add anti‑forgery token validation to the Razor file and controller action.
