OpenXML is way too complicated



I will cut right to the point: Want to create Excel files using OpenXML, don't, use ClosedXML instead.

We wanted to have a report in Excel format sent from  aweb server. OpenXML seemed the way to go. However OpenXML is way too complicated. Just trying to set the fill color for a row was taking me hours and I was getting nowhere.

ClosedXML however, builds on OpenXML and gives the coder a direct access to functions, it is what OpenXML should of been.

Thank you ClosedXML for fixing OpenXML!
