Is there a way to create/read a LibreOffice Spreadsheet just like MS Office Excel with C#?

Question

In a program that creates an excel file, i wonder if i could give the chance to the users that don't have MS Office to create an .xls file with only LibreOffice installed. What should i use instead of "using Excel = Microsoft.office.interlope.excel;" and the rest of the commands ? TnX!
