Alternative To Excel As ASP.Net Report Generator?
Oct 18, 2010
I use excel through vb.net/asp.net to generate reports from a web page and then send the file down to the user. We've had some issues with Excel being super slow/inefficient/not closing (even when we keep track of the process id and try to kill it in code...). So I'm looking for some flexible alternatives. We need a replacement that can:
Allow for inidivdual cell formatting including borders (different settings on each side), background colors, font styles/coloring, etc...Allow for cell merging Allow for formatting (bolding in this case) of a portion of the text inside of a cell while leaving the rest of the text unchanged Image insertion/repositioning inside a cell (not crucial)Multiple Worksheets per Workbook.
These are all the features I can think of off hand, any help or suggestiong at alternative libraries to look at would be appreciated. We are running Excel 2007 on the server but we are rolling out Office 2010 to clients so I think that might open the doors for some more supported file formats.

I am working on an Excel report and I would like the top rows to be empty to allow for an image to be inserted. However, I do not want the image size to change the width of the columns and would rather the data below do that.
This is what I have so far:

I'm trying to embed a background picture into an Excel file. Assuming I have an Excel report (see f.csv) below, I open it as an Excel, embed the picture and then save.I found the following code in one of the websites. It's working but still there is a problem that it always ask me to confirm the overwriting of the file. I want to save it automatically without asking the user about it, but can't find if that's possible. below I tried "SaveAs" and "Save" but it always ask me to confirm overwriting.

I'm trying to export a Crystal Report with the DataOnlyExcelFormatOptions option. But I stuck, the help is too pour and no running example available.If I use the ExcelFormatOption with the default option, the column order is completely messed up. From the DataOnlyExcelFormatOptions, the attribute might be interesting. But I am unable to find a running solution in VB.

My application is supposed to parse a text file (relatively easy) and create an excel spreadsheet report. Should I write a stand alone VB.NET application that saves the excel file, or should I use VSTO? I am unsure if there are any differences in terms of ease of development, usability issues, API functions available, etc.Are there any other programming languages/interfaces/libraries that will allow me to rapidly develop an involved excel spreadsheet? I am talking about things like functions, graphs, etc.

how I can reference a report variable in the Report Properties Code Window of a local report? I have tried Variables!Claimant.Value (for a variable called Claimant) but I get an error "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." I have tried qualifying it with Report. and also with the report name in front of it but I get errors with this also.I have the variable CLaimant defined in the Variables section of the Report Properties.

I am looking to produce an Excel report from an Access database table. The data contains numerous records with fields for Site, Country, Region, Type and a Resolution Time. My problem is that each month the Sites change so I need to be able to write VB code within Access to read the database table and output 'Site' records for that month, grouped together along with the incident details for that site, e.g. The report would have the following headings:
'SITE' 'COUNTRY' 'REGION' 'TYPE' 'TOTAL' 'RESOLVED<3DAYS' 'RESOLVED>3DAYS' 'NOT RESOLVED'
MEL AUS APAC TECHNICAL 78 40 31 7
MEL AUS APAC HARDWARE 49 40 8 1
LON GBR EURO HARDWARE 90 40 40 10
As I will have over 30 different sites and these may change each month how do I loop through the data identifying each site and its associated field values? I have used the following code to open the data and loop through records printing to excel, but am stuck at grouping by site:
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(sqlStat)
row=10.......
..... Do While Not rst.EOF
.cells(row, 1).Value = rst.Fields(0)
.cells(row, 1).Value = rst.Fields(1)
.cells(row, 1).Value = rst.Fields(2)...

Why I've choosen this forum (VB.Net) instead of Reporting is this seems not a matter of reporting. When I load the report normally, it works fine. When I export the report to Excel, it works fine again. After that when I tried to open the report again, it gives the error : "Load Report Failed" . I've to restart my application for make it work fine again.I'm using a Crystal Report Viewer control to load the report.

I am writing a report to an excel template and am trying to insert a page break into the report. Part of my code is included:
Imports msWE = Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim Rnge As msWE.Excel.Range = excelApp.Range("A20:M20")
Dim excelApp As New msWE.Excel.ApplicationClass
excelApp.Worksheets.HPageBreaks.Add(Rnge)
Now the pagebreak code executes but it does nothing. Its almost as if it is being ignored. Also I have heard that using Microsoft.Office.Interop is not a good idea as it is slow and unstable.

I've created an app (VB.NET) where each installation of the app works with a single local database on the PC. No multiuser and no ability for the user to change databases - the database is effectively part of the app, with a fixed scema, only the data will change.At the moment the database is SQL CE. It has about 30 tables with some simple relationships between the tables.
I'm wondering if there is an alternative to SQL CE that might be faster in this scenario. Although SQL CE is excellent and easy to use, I get the feeling there is perhaps an unecessary overhead when using it for something simple - and it does seem a little slow when my app is doing complex stuff that interacts a lot with the DB. In my prototype I actually loaded the 'database' tables from text files into Arrays and developed subs and functions to perform the database searches etc. It was blindingly fast but I realised it wasn't a scaleable solution because it was an 'in-memory' database. A compromise would be to 'page' data into array when needed, but it all gets horribly complex and that's probably why some very clver people have created SQL CE !
