Using excelEngine As ExcelEngine = New ExcelEngine
'Set the default application version as Excel 2016
excelEngine.Excel.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016
'Create a workbook with a worksheet
Dim workbook As IWorkbook = excelEngine.Excel.Workbooks.Open(filePath)
'Convert the workbook into PDF
Dim converter As ExcelToPdfConverter = New ExcelToPdfConverter(workbook)
Dim pdf As PdfDocument = converter.Convert()
'Save the pdf document
pdf.Save("WordtoPDF.pdf", Response, HttpReadType.Save)
End Using
Step 2: Publish the Application to AzureIn the Solution Explorer, right-click on the project name and select Publish.
Publish via Solution Explorer Or we can go to Build Menu and select Publish myASPApp (your_project_name) to open Publish page.
Publish via Build Menu Now select the Microsoft Azure App Service, make sure Create New option is selected and then select Publish.
Publish via Microsoft Azure App Service This opens a Create App Service dialog, where we can add all the necessary resources required to run the application in Azure. Step 3: Sign in to Azure accountIn the Create App Service dialog, select Add an account, and sign in to the Azure subscription. If you're already signed in, select the account containing the desired subscription from the dropdown.
Create App Service Step 4: Create a resource groupA resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources like web apps, databases, and storage accounts are deployed and managed. Next to Resource Group, select New. Provide a name for the Resource Group and select OK.
Create a resource group Step 5: Create an App Service planAn App Service plan specifies the location, size, and features of the web server farm that hosts your app. Next to App Service Plan, select New. In the Configure App Service Plan dialog, update the details as per the requirements and Select.
Create and configure an App Service Plan Step 6: Create and publish the web appIn Web App Name, type a unique app name or accept the automatically generated unique name. The URL of the web app is http://<app_name>.azurewebsites.net, where <app_name> is your web app name. Select Create to start creating the Azure resources.
Create Azure resources Now the application is being deployed to Azure.
Deploying to Azure Once the deployment completes, it publishes the ASP.NET web application to Azure, and then launches the app in the default browser.
