I am evaluating XLxIO. I'm using it to export charts directly from our silverlight charting application. Currently I use the Silverlight SaveFileDialog to get a stream and then workbook.SaveAs to write the file to the user's hard drive. This all works great.
My question is, would it be possible to open the new file directly in Excel rather than saving it to a file on the user's hard drive? I've thought about possibly posting the file back to the server and the sending it back down as mimetype application/excel. I think I could get that to work, but it seems destined for a dailywtf post. Is there a better way?

Hi Bill,
Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.
It is not possible to access file system directly with Silverlight. You may make use of XlsIO.Base assembly and create the file in the server by using a web service and then stream it to the client.
