Adding an FpSpread component to a Web Form in Visual Studio 2013 involves the following steps of adding the component to a Web Site. You can either open an existing Web Site or create a new one.
![]() |
Spread, as a child control of the page, is affected by the style settings on that page (similar to placing a table on a web form, and setting a master CSS for everything inside the page). If you create a default web application with Visual Studio 2010 or higher, the default master page contains CSS style settings. Spread, once placed on this default page, can be affected by the style settings and the layout may change. Avoid the following HTML tags to prevent the layout change: TD, TH, TABLE, INPUT, and TEXTAREA. |
Step 1. Start Visual Studio 2013.
Step 2. Create a new Web site.
If your project does not display the Solution Explorer, from the View menu, choose Solution Explorer. If you used an empty site, you may wish to add a web form to the project (choose Add, Web Form after right-clicking on the project name in the Solution Explorer).
Specify the Item name. Select OK.
Step 3. Add the FpSpread component to the toolbox. This only has to be done once.
If the FpSpread component is not displayed in the list of components, click Browse and browse to the installation path for the Spread component. Once there, select FarPoint.Web.Spread.dll and click Open. The FpSpread component is now displayed in the list of components. Select it and click OK. Select FarPoint.Web.Chart.dll if you wish to add FpChart at design time.
Step 4. Add the FpSpread component to the Web site.
