Add Bookmarks with Named Destination & Copying VBA Project from One Excel File to Other using .NET

What is new in this release?

Aspose development team is pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Cells for .NET 17.9.0. This release includes some valuable features and other enhancements along with critical bug fixes that further improve the overall stability of the APIs. Aspose.Cells supports to specify Named Destinations in the output PDF file that do not depend on PDF pages. It means, if pages are added or deleted from PDF, bookmarks may become invalid but named destinations will remain intact. Please see the document/article (with attachments) that explains on how to add PDF Bookmarks with Named Destinations for users complete reference. If an Excel file contains external resources (linked images or objects), so, when users convert an Excel file to Pdf, Aspose.Cells retrieves these external resources and renders them to Pdf file format. Now, if users do not want to load these external resources rather want to manipulate them, users can do this using PdfSaveOptions.StreamProvider API which implements the IStreamProvider interface. Aspose.Cells allows developers to copy VBA project from one Excel file into other. VBA project consists of various types of modules i.e. Document, Procedural, Designer etc. All modules can be copied with simple code but for Designer module, there is some extra data called Designer Storage needs to be accessed or copied. Aspose.Cells provides Shape.ToFrontOrBack()method which changes the z-order position of the shape. If users want to send shape to back users will use negative number like -1, -2, -3 etc. and if users want to send shape to front, will use positive number like 1, 2, 3 etc. Developers can sort data in the column using custom list. GridWeb displays comments as Tooltips like MS-Excel does when users hover mouse over the respective cell. The web based grid control provided by Aspose.Cells for .NET allows creating, removing and getting cell comments inside the worksheet. There are some other enhancements included in this release, such as Determining which stack size is needed for a certain Workbook, Exception: “Too many entries. Consider setting ZipOutputStream.Enable Zip64” on merging the file(s), When RecommendReadOnly is true, IsWriteProtected is also true, Handled NullReferenceException when reading XLSX using LoadFilter containing Pivot Table, Handled “Input string was not in a correct format” exception on opening MS Excel file. In this release, Aspose team has fixed several other issues. For example, issues around reading/writing MS Excel file formats, Smart Markers, manipulating ranges, inserting rows and columns, rendering shapes and drawing objects, manipulating OLE Objects, rendering and manipulating charts, manipulating PivotTables, rendering images from Excel worksheets, rendering images files from charts and exporting Excel workbooks to PDF format have been resolved.
