Attribute Specifier Error In LINQ To XML / Excel Spreadsheet
Apr 8, 2011
I'm trying to use LINQ to XML to create an Excel spreadsheet. I created a template spreadsheet, exported it to XML, pasted the XML into my code and then began to edit it. When I try to create a set of XElements using LINQ, I get these errors:
The first squiggle under <Cell> says "attribute specifier is not a complete statement"
The second under ss says "'>' expected"
The third under Type says "'Type' is a type and cannot be used in an expression"
Ignore the error under "Lot 1..." I will be putting an expression hole there.
The squiggle under </Cell> says "Identifier expected".

I have a VB.Net program that reads in a flat file, and then parses line by line, formatting the data into different spreadsheets in an excel workbook (each line can be any 10+ different record types so I parse and put in appropriate excel sheet).
For smaller sized flat files (under 10mb), the parser works great. However, I am trying this on a file that is over 120mb (400k+ lines). While running, I will get an OleDBException saying that the spreadsheet is full. Now I am pretty confident that Excel can handle a much larger data set than a flat file. So I assume this exception is not giving me the true story as to what is really occuring.
I open a connection, and then parse each line in the file, inserting each row into the excel file. I assumed it would be bad performance wise to open/close the connection between each insert. Could this be causing the issue? Any ideas what I need to do to handle such a large file? There are cases where the flat file can be over 500mb.
To actually do the insert into excel, I am just doing the following (I construct an sql query based on the type of row and values parsed):
Dim conn As New OleDbConnection()
conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + ExportLocation.Text + "" + importFileName + "-PVF.xls;Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""

[Background]:I created a Winforms App that reads data and spits it out into an Excel Spreadsheet. On my computer, I have Microsoft Office 2003 and inside of the Visual Studio Project, I referenced COM Object "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library". The Executable is on a shared directory and end users can run the application and generate the reports themselves.
[Problem]:Problems arise when an end user with Microsoft Office 2007 runs the application, generates the Excel Spreadsheet and sends it to someone with Microsoft Office 2003, the Excel Spreadsheet opens with the standard "this file is not in recognizable format" error and when you push "ok", the data shows up as symbols (garbled text).
[Question]When I reference "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" in my project, how does the .Net Framework (or my Application) find this COM Object object when it is ran from another CPU?I guess, I would like to know how references work. When you reference DLLs in a VS.Net project, compile the program and then put the execuable on another PC, how does VB.Net go about finding those DLLs you referenced or is it part of the compiled program?
I suspect when a user running MS Office 2007 runs my app, it is running a 2007 dll instead of a 2003 dll.However, I would think an error would be thrown if this was the case.

I have just upgraded to Microsoft Visual Basis 2010 Express (Running on Vista and Microsoft Office Excel 2007). The last time I used VB was about 5 years ago and was v5.0 I am trying to do the very simple action of opening a spreadsheet using VB and reading in cell values into two text boxes (I am using an example posted on the web to ensure my approach is correct). The run fails at the point:

How do I find a specific node? In this case I want to find the node that has its name attribute to be "admin"

If a node belongs to a namespace, it's children by default belong to the same namespace. So there's no need to provide an xmlns attribute on each child, which is good. However. If I create two nodes like this:

if any of you have called up excel spreadsheet data within your VB.net app. Is it at all possible instead of calling up access and the like?
And just before some overzealous person puts "we will not do your work for you blah blah blah......" Im not asking you to write it for me, im just asking if its possible, has anyone succeeded in doing so?
Id rather not use VBA script if possible, Id like to create my own app and use a spreadsheet that has all my workings on already - sorry if its a bit noobie to ask such a daft question but one of my friends is going to be opening a restaurant soon and asked me if i could do a little prog for him using his excel stuff

I am trying to write a program that will display an excel spreadsheet in Visual Basic. My goal is for the program to display this Work Order Form I have designed in excel and to modify user, date and auto assign a work order number. After that is done I would like to print the excel form. So I guess my questions are:
- How can I display an excel spreadsheet in win forms
- How can I print the spread sheet after it is modified
- Is there a better way I should be doing this

In my latest project, I'm iterating through an Excel Spreadsheet and importing the information from it into a DataSet row for row. Based on certain conditions (namely, the text in a certain column on the spreadsheet). For certain conditions, the app is to write the row into a new spreadsheet and email that spreadsheet as an attachment to a pre-defined email address.

I am taking a pre-existing excel spreadsheet and inserting a blank row at the top. This part works, the part I am having problem is the fact that based on the code I have, I have to open the spreadsheet so when you execute the code the spreadsheet opens. Then when done, close it. When I try to close it wants me to save the document, even if I call the save method. This whole process should happen behind the scenes so I really don't want the spreadsheet opening.
See code below.
moApp.Visible = True
oWB = moApp.Workbooks.Open("I: estcsv.xls")
oWB.Sheets("testcsv").Rows("1:1").Select()
moApp.Selection.insert(xl.XlDirection.xlDown)
oWB.Save()
oWB.Close()
'When call the close, it still asks me to save the spreadsheet even though I called oWB.Save above.

I'm creating an application in VB 2008 that will act as an interface for user's to add information to an excel spreadsheet. I am trying to determine the best way to do this, since I have never actually done it before. It seems like it should be simple, but as I am reading about it, I feel like it is a little more complicated than I had originally thought. I don't need to create the spreadsheet, I just need to add to it using this form as an interface.

I am creating a report and outputting the results to an excel file. Here is how it is suppose to work. I have a table called EMPID that has a list of employee id's. I loop through this table and for each EMPID, I run several queries. I would like to append the data that is returned to the spreadsheet so that the results for all EMPID's would be added to the spreadsheet. Right now, the way I have coded it, for each EMPID it overwrites the fields in the spreadsheet instead of adding/appending them to it.
Here is some code:
If EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows.Count <> 0 Then
For Each dr As System.Data.DataRow In EmpidDS.Tables("EMPID_Table").Rows
'Set the variable EMPID to the current row EMPID
EMPID = dr.Item("EMPID")
'Check that table is not empty

Is it possible to deliver an Excel Spreadsheet via an Web Service. I believe not as ASP.NET web services seem only to deal in Serializable elements which the excel binary format isn't (I think). If the Excel is saved in XML format will this work?
I have a number of reports that will be emailed, but the request has been put into allow these reports to be pulled via Web Services.

I am building a website to capture data. I have many spreadsheets that are used for data entry or capture. Now I want to mimic these complex spreadsheets on the web forms but I am unsure of the correct control to use.
Data entry must be allowed and live calculations also need to be made similar to formulas on normal excel spreadsheets. Later on the data must be captured into an SQL table.
What would be the best control to use or method to mimic that functionality, albeit that the spreadsheet component is no longer available in visual studio 2010. Is it a data grid?

I'm using vb.net to create a large excel spreadsheet, im collecting the data from a mysql database, i have retrieved all the data and have all my data in excel.
The idea of the spreadsheet is that it is never seen so excel_app.visible is set to false.
i can get the excel spreadsheet to print and close using:
excel_app.activeworkbook.printout() excel_app.ActiveWorkbook.Close(False)
the problem I have is that i need to print the document in landscape.
