Another method that creates the data source from a worksheet range is the WorksheetDataBindingCollection.CreateDataSource method. It creates a worksheet data binding and adds it to the collection. To obtain a data source associated with a particular binding, use the WorksheetDataBinding.DataSource property.
RangeDataSourceOptions options = new RangeDataSourceOptions();
Worksheet sheet = spreadsheetControl1.ActiveWorksheet;
CellRange dataRange = sheet.Selection;
if (dataRange.Equals(sheet.Tables[0].Range))
options.UseFirstRowAsHeader = true;
else {
options.UseFirstRowAsHeader = false;
options.DataSourceColumnTypeDetector = new MyColumnDetector();
}
options.SkipHiddenColumns = true;
rangeDS = dataRange.GetDataSource(options);
sheet.DataBindings.Error += DataBindings_Error;
Dim options As New RangeDataSourceOptions()
Dim sheet As Worksheet = spreadsheetControl1.ActiveWorksheet
Dim dataRange As CellRange = sheet.Selection
If dataRange.Equals(sheet.Tables(0).Range) Then
options.UseFirstRowAsHeader = True
Else
options.UseFirstRowAsHeader = False
options.DataSourceColumnTypeDetector = New MyColumnDetector()
End If
options.SkipHiddenColumns = True
rangeDS = dataRange.GetDataSource(options)
AddHandler sheet.DataBindings.Error, AddressOf DataBindings_Error
