    You can use ADO.NET to read from and write to Excel just like a database, or you can use automation to control an actual Excel instance and operate directly on the worksheets.  Do a search on MSDN for "ADO.NET Excel" and "Automation Excel .NET" (both without quotes) for information and examples.  If you already have data in a DataSet, I'd say ADO.NET would be your best bet (that's using an OleDbDataAdapter).  I've never written data to Excel but I have read from it.  I can't see that it would be much more complex, if at all.
