I use OWC (Office Web Components) v10.0 to embed Excel grid in an asp.net page. Is there a replacement technology where excel grid can be embedded in the client side browser?
If you are using a Sharepoint Server, Microsoft offers something called Excel Services, which basically provides spreadsheet functionality in a browser, without requiring an actual component to be deployed (with the Excel work being done on the SPPS server. Info is here:

I know there is an OpenSource product called WikiCalc which is a client-side, spreadsheet component which works in the browser (from Dan Bricklin's company). Some info is here:

There seems to be no .Net solution for client browser excel grid than OWC. Looks like SharePoint 2010 has Office Web Applications that allows Google Docs like spreadsheet functionality in browser. Would evaluate that.
looks like there is one.

I have created an add-in for excel. It's working fine for excel sheet. I want to use my add-ins in google sheet. I am not getting any idea about how to use add-in into google sheet.
Can anyone tell me that how to use add-in in google sheet. If any documentation is available, then please share it.
In the current state I think there is no direct way to use an Excel Add-in inside Google Sheets.
As far as I know,they are similar to Google Apps Script that allows you to extend the capabilities of Google Sheets.
Or open a new feature request to include a way to connect an Add-in inside Google Sheets.
Google Sheets add-ins and Microsoft Office Add-ins are different entities with entirely different objects models. There is no direct conversion between them. You need to develop separate add-ins.
See Google Apps Script for getting started with Google Sheets add-ons.
We have setup a mechanism for our consumers to create oData feed based on certain choice of fields, and we have written an excel plugin to convert this oData URL to an excel workbook(or embed this oData into excel). Further the excel work book created is uploaded to sharepoint farm. oData URL can be scheduled to refresh periodically, we are looking for options to programmatically refresh workbook. Appreciate if you can share experience setting up something like this.

I am looking for a way to allow users without the Office 20XX package to view documents in a Sharepoint 2007 document library. Ideally, it would allow them to open the documents directly from the document library, but if it's implemented through a web part where you select documents and such, that would be great as well.
It is not a necessity that people can edit the documents, they simply need to be able to view them. I am looking for something that opens both Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, but a solution that only covers one type still has interest.
In SharePoint 2007, you can view Excel documents in Excel Services via Excel Web Access WebPart:

For Word, you can use Word to HTMl Service:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint-server-help/convert-a-word-document-to-a-web-page-HA010163780.aspx
Things are much more easier if you have SharePoint 2010.
You could have a document converter, convert all your office documents to word format
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms518493%28v=office.12%29.aspx
Then use the word to web page document converter

I used the ASP.NET MVC REST SDK for building atom feedS for our exception logging dashboard and it worked perfect.
When creating the syndication content, I used CreateHTMLContent and added a PRE tag around my HTML content string. Now it shows in a nice formatted way on internet explorer. But when reading the feed through outlook 2007, I am losing the formatting totally. Do you have any idea how to format the feeds for outlook 2007.
Thanks,
I suggest that you start by going here and vote for what is currently the number one requested fix in Outlook!
I'm working on MOSS 2007 and I want to build a sharepoint webpart that can list all the sites (in the same SPfarm) visible to the current user. What I can think of is:
Use FullTextSqlQuery class to search for the sites, but is it possible;
Build an external application that crawls the user-sites information by using the Sharepoint Object-Model. The webpart can then use this information.
Is there any simple solution?
Any idea will be appreciated. Thanks!
Please take a look here: Talk to SharePoint Through its Web Services at "Example 3"
You'll need to write some managed (.net) code.
SharePoint creates site maps by default. Unless you have turned this off, you can get one from a site by appending /_layouts/viewlsts.aspx to the site URL.
