KDCalc converts Microsoft ExcelŽ spreadsheets
into high-speed, light-weight calculation engines for Java or .NET platforms.
KDCalc can also be paired with grid components to provide spreadsheet
functionality.
What
is spreadsheet programming? KDCalc
allows both programmers and non-programmers to use Excel to develop lightweight,
interactive client applications and highly scalable server applications. The diagram below illustrates the process:
Why
do I need it?
Non-programmers can build and test complex logic
in Excel, then convert and embed the logic into applications. This allows
you to embed Excel calculations into web pages, and you can deploy them
server side and tie them into JSPs, ASPs, and web services.
What
do I get?
KDCalc consists of an Excel plug-in
and a runtime engine. The plug-in converts your spreadsheets into callable
libraries. The runtime engine provides intuitive API access to your
cell formulas. In addition, the .NET version has a data adapter that
easily integrates with .NET and third party controls and grids.
How
do I use it?
The
KDCalc plug-in installs directly into the Microsoft ExcelŽ toolbar. Click
a few buttons to set up the deployment options, and KDCalc creates a compressed
file that performs the calculations and data transformations in your Excel
Workbook.
