Remarks

When loading the workbook, the format will be determined the file extension or by the contents of the file. If the extension is a standard Excel format extension, the workbook will be assumed to be in the corresponding format. Otherwise, the contents of the file will be examined to try to determine the format. The CurrentFormat of the returned workbook will indicate the format the workbook was loaded from.

Note: This method creates a System.IO.FileStream using the FileStream(string, FileMode) overload of the constructor. See the remarks section of this overload for the exceptions that could be thrown.
