Reading via stream

[Amber]

Hi, 

Is it better to read via stream or just give the path, and why?

IWorkbook wb = XlObj.Excel.Workbooks.Open(path);//like C:/test/XYZ.xlsx

OR

IWorkbook wb = XlObj.Excel.Workbooks.Open(stream);//like Stream stream =  FileStream(path, //FileMode.Open);

Hi Amber,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Either a stream or a filename can be used to open a workbook, as both does the same functionality which returns a workbook. Internally the file name creates a stream and processes its data. Whereas, if a stream is given as input, it processes from that stream itself. 

The stream option is given in addition for user's convenience to use the stream wherever necessary. If a user is not able to manage the code with streams, then can use a file name to open.

Please let us know if you need further clarification.

Regards,
Johnson
