I am very new to Office Web Components (OWC) and need to place a spreadsheet into a web page and load it with data from an SQL database.

I currently have the following in my default.aspx page:

Code:
<body>
   <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
      <OBJECT id="ss">{WEB COMPONENT OBJECT}</OBJECT>
   </form>
</body>
I would like to be able to control the OBJECT from within VB.NET.

Can this be done and how??

I am able to use a client side scripting language to control the spreadsheet, but need to use ASP.NET language as I want to integrate into a .net web site.
