'===========================================================================
' Tutorial 16

' This tutorial shows how to create an Excel file with image in Classic ASP.
' The Excel file has multiple sheets.
' The first sheet has an image inserted.
'===========================================================================

response.write("Tutorial 16<br>")
response.write("----------<br>")

' Create an instance of the class that exports Excel files
Set workbook = Server.CreateObject("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument")

' Create two sheets
workbook.easy_addWorksheet_2("First tab")
workbook.easy_addWorksheet_2("Second tab")

' Insert image into sheet
workbook.easy_getSheetAt(0).easy_addImage_5 "C:\\Samples\\EasyXLSLogo.JPG", "A1"

' Export Excel file
response.write("Writing file: C:\Samples\Tutorial16 - images in Excel.xlsx<br>")
workbook.easy_WriteXLSXFile("C:\Samples\Tutorial16 - images in Excel.xlsx")

' Confirm export of Excel file
if workbook.easy_getError() = "" then
    response.write("File successfully created.")
else
    response.write("Error encountered: " + workbook.easy_getError())
end if

' Dispose memory
workbook.Dispose
%>

Overloaded methods
For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
