Thanks for these. Adding a couple others:

* EPPlus for reading or creating Excel spreadsheets without using Excel (such as on a server). http://epplus.codeplex.com/

* RTFConverter for parsing RTF. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/27431/Writing-Your-Own-R...

These are good enough to drive the decision to use C#/.NET for projects needing these capabilities.

I found SpreadsheetLight much more performant than EPPlus. http://spreadsheetlight.com/download/

I prefer DoddleReport for creating reports from a dynamic source to Excel, PDF, OpenExcell, txt or csv :)

They also have a great MVC integration
