Office Automation :: Excel Program Leaves EXCEL.EXE Floating After Completion
Feb 24, 2012I am writing a program that loops through all of the sheets in an Excel workbook and saves each sheet as its own workbook. It turned out to be a bit trickier than I expected, since the Sheet.Copy method creates a strange object (see here for the MSDN discussion that I believe is relevant: [URL]. Anyway, I found a Stack Overflow post [URL] that got me to where I am, which is essentially complete, outside of one hanging EXCEL.EXE process that is left after the program completes, which I believe is a result of the sheet.copy method creating a new workbook (potentially a new application as well?). The other thing I run into, which I believe is related to this, is that even though I have my application set to visibility off, when I run the program, excel still opens up and is visible going through the steps.
Here is my code:
Code:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
[CODE]...
Now I think the problem comes from the end of the loop, where I try to close the export file and the new worksheet it creates:
Code:
'close excel and release com objects
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(exportsheet)
exportsheet = Nothing
xlApp1.Workbooks(fileNames(counter - 1)).Close(False)
I can't figure out what to do to release the `ComObject` for the new worksheet that is created. I have been trying all sorts of things, but it always throws a COM error when I do it and if I try to define it as nothing (like I do with exportsheet) is says that it is read only by default, so I can't do it. It seems like it should be something as simple as: System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(xlApp1.Workboo ks(fileNames(counter - 1))) But that is not the case. I have tried a few variants of this and I am thinking it has to do with the MSDN link above, but I can't quite sort out what to do. So the code works for my purposes, outside of leaving one EXCEL.EXE after it is done. As far as a test file, I am just using an Excel file with 3 sheets and I put some information on each and change the sheet name, so it is easy to see if it is working or not.
.net - Excel Program Leaves EXCEL.EXE Floating After Completion

Anyway, I found another Stack Overflow post that got me to where I am, which is essentially complete, outside of one hanging EXCEL.EXE process that is left after the program completes (check the update for one more issue that came up, but I think they are related).
Here is my code:

Imports Office = Microsoft.Office.Core
[Code]......
Final Update: On the off chance that some poor soul ran into the same issue I was running into, the first update should solve it, but it is also important to note that the excel.exe will hang until you close the application. I am report automation code as a windows form application (so coworkers can give the file location and such) and there is going to be an excel.exe process running until you close the pop up window from the program. Maybe garbage collect does not run until you close the application window or it just hangs on to an instance of excel.exe for some other reason.

View 1 RepliesAutomate AdWords In .NET?
Dec 18, 2009I am using AdWords for advertising my products. But in a last couple of months number of products have doubled so I don't have enough time to optimize AdWords campaigns for all of them. Some campaigns have thousands of keywords so I am looking a way to automate my AdWords campaigns.
I know about AdWords API and client libraries. I have been investigating them for some time and they are not so easy to use. I want to focus more on optimizing my AdWords campaigns, and not on communication with AdWords server. Does anyone know about some VB.NET library that would allow me to download my AdWords data, investigate it, modify it and then upload modifications back on AdWords server?

Automate A Button Click?
Jul 12, 2008Working with dynamic button. So if i have 5 buttons created dynamicly, i can get alot of information from the button click of that button. You click a button on this app, it will show the name of the button.
But now I want, lets say button 4 to click at 4:45 pm today. Normally I would do something like compare a string to "4:45", and when true, then button 4.Perform_Click.
But button 4 is dynamic, so how do I call that button in my code. How can I address it. I know it will be there when the program is running, I just don't know how to get to it in code.
Now I do have the button names in a database, so I can get the name that I want from there. Just not sure how to tell it, "Do a perform click on button 4" The code below is my test bed, so If you click the main button, it will create a button, and a timer. Click the button that was created, and it will show the button name.

View 1 RepliesException When Trying To Automate MS Word
May 3, 2011I use the following vb.net function to purely save Word documents (no text input whatsoever, I'm only interested in mass creation of empty word documents at the moment):[code]The OFDD variable is the name of a folder browser vb component, and its SelectedPath property combined with the cname and acctype parameters provide me with the name of the Word document I want to create and save. Here are the declarations of the counter, wordDoc and wordApp variables:[code]The wordDoc variable is assigned to a Document object by use of the second line of code in the subroutine createDoc. However, it appears that at the 83rd time that I'm trying to retrieve a document object and assign it to wordDoc I receive an exception stating that "Command failed" . I can tell that it's the 83rd time I enter the function because in my catchblock I print the value of counter in a message box, right after printing details about the received exception and right before I release my used resources and end the process.
Worried about whether my system has limitations related to MS Word automation, I created another Visual Studio project (a Console project, this time), referenced the Microsoft.Interop.Office.Word namespace and wrote the following simple module:[code]Which works perfectly. Checking my filesystem, I see 150 word files created in "C:WordTester". [code]
