# Working with the Active Sheet

Use Spread for ASP.NET to specify the active sheet programmatically. An active sheet is a sheet that currently receives any user interaction.

## Content



The active sheet is the sheet that currently receives any user interaction. You can specify the active sheet programmatically. Use the [ActiveSheetView](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.ActiveSheetView.html) property of the [FpSpread](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.html) object.

Usually, the active sheet is displayed on top of the other sheets in the component.

For information about adding a sheet, refer to [Adding a Sheet](/spreadnet/docs/latest/online-asp/overview/spweb-devguide/spweb-appearSet/spweb-appearSheet/spweb-SheetAdd).
