About this skill

Syncfusion WPF Spreadsheet Editor

Overview

Build Excel-like spreadsheet applications in WPF using Syncfusion SfSpreadsheet control with full support for workbook operations, formulas, charts, data validation, and ribbon customization.

Key Capabilities

  • Workbook Operations: Create/open/save Excel files (XLS, XLSX, XLSM, CSV), multiple worksheets, freeze panes, zoom, protection
  • Cell Operations: Editing, formatting (fonts, colors, borders, alignment), merge cells, comments, hyperlinks, bookmarks
  • Data Features: 400+ Excel-compatible formulas, named ranges, data validation, conditional formatting, fill series
  • Advanced Features: Charts, sparklines, clipboard operations, undo/redo, grouping/outlines
  • Conversion: Export to PDF, HTML, Image, CSV

Quick Start Examples

Example 1

User: "Show me how to create a spreadsheet with data and formulas"

Result: C# code generated to create workbook, set cell values, and add formulas

Example 2

User: "Add data validation and rules in the spreadsheet control"

Result: C# code generated for spreadsheet control validation and custom rules


Generate WPF Code — Workflow

Trigger keywords: "how to", "add spreadsheet", "code sample", "show me", "example", "snippet", "integrate", "component", "create sample", "code", "sample code", "generate code", "implement", "add to project", "configure spreadsheet"

Step 1: Ask User for Delivery Option

Before showing code, ask:

"How would you like me to provide the solution?

Option 1: Create a new file in skill folder (.codestudio/skills/wpf-spreadsheet-editor/output/)
Option 2: Add code to an existing file in your project (you provide the file path)
Option 3: Just show the code (no files created/modified)

Please select Option 1, 2, or 3."

⏸️ WAIT for explicit user selection before proceeding.

Step 2: Generate Code from Reference Files

  • Read relevant references/*.md file(s) for requested feature
  • Build C# and/or XAML code using ONLY snippets from reference files
  • Do NOT show code yet, do NOT create files yet

Step 3: Handle User Selection

Option 1: Show code → automatically save to .codestudio/skills/wpf-spreadsheet-editor/output/ (skill folder only) Option 2: Ask for file path → show code → wait for explicit YES confirmation → apply code → ask to build Option 3: Show code with summary and required assemblies → done (no files created/modified)

  • For Option 2 only: Before generating code, check if the project has the prerequisites from references/getting-started.md (Prerequisites and Setup Requirements section). If missing, ask user consent and add them.

Out-of-Scope Requests

When a user asks a question that does NOT match the skill domain (i.e., not related to WPF Spreadsheet, Excel processing, or Syncfusion spreadsheet control), respond with:

"Unable to process the input. Please provide the input in a different way."

Do NOT attempt to:

  • Generate code outside the spreadsheet/Excel domain
  • Provide general WPF guidance unrelated to spreadsheet functionality
  • Process requests for other Syncfusion controls or unrelated frameworks
  • Assist with non-spreadsheet features

ONLY activate this skill and its workflows when the user's request matches trigger keywords: "spreadsheet", "Excel", "UI", "code", "Ribbon", "WPF" (in context of spreadsheet/Excel).


Code References

All templates and feature snippets live in references/*.md. Each file is a focused snippet the agent combines when generating samples.

Flow: Always start with references/getting-started.md (Prerequisites and Setup Requirements section), then merge matched feature snippets. If no feature keywords match, return only the basic sample.

Rules

  1. Use Only Reference Snippets

    • Generate code exclusively from the Markdown files under `references/
    • Do not invent/guess/include any properties, events, API methods, component names, or parameters not present in references/*.md
  2. NO FILE MODIFICATIONS WITHOUT PERMISSION

    • Never create or modify files/folders in user workspace without explicit user selection and confirmation.
    • Cannot create StackPanel, buttons, textblocks, dialogs, ,MessageBox or any UI elements beyond the Spreadsheet without user permission.
  3. Unsupported Feature Handling

    • If the user requests a feature with no corresponding snippet in references/*.md, respond with: That feature is not currently supported by the Syncfusion WPF Spreadsheet component.
    • Suggest the closest supported features only if they have snippets
    • Explicitly list unsupported items and do not synthesize code for them
  4. Validation Before Write

    • Re-validate before writing that all code blocks originate from references/*.md files
    • If validation fails, stop and inform the user
