I managed to export my data to an excel file, by using a excel template that I created beforehand. But I'd rather have that the excel file will be create when I press the button instead going to my file.
Dim ApExcel As Object
ApExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
ApExcel.Visible = True

i need to generate an excel sheet from an excel template which contains drop down lists. I need to use the template and populate the with data from datbase and select the appropriate value from the drop down lists and generate the new excel sheet.
View 2 RepliesI have a an excel file that has been manually populated, and now needs to be automatically populated using ASP.NET, vb or c#. I've been looking around, and have found examples on how to export a gridview, and data to excel sheet, but not anyway to maintain the format of the original template. I've recently populated a word document using merge fields... does excel have anything similar? Could I break the file down into XML and use that as a template?

View 6 RepliesI need to port a VBA app to VB.NET, there is only one problem excel won't save my template. Excel opens the right file and it shows me the save file dialog, only one problem it won't save any file, however it won't give me an error but won't return me the file path because it doesn't save the file anywhere.

I have attached a printscreen version of my excel template here,
Now I just want to know, using vb.net code, on how can I import this data from a specific cell, including the header itself so I can insert it into mysql database.
I want to open a excel template with a browse button, the file needs to open and must be directly saved by the user. after the file is saved the file location needs to be displayed in a textbox.With this i can open excel itself, but i don't know how to open the template and save the document
Dim Xl As Excel.Application
Dim Filepath As String
Dim Workbook As Excel.Workbook
[code]....
The file opens and i get a save as dialog, but when i want to save the document it doesn;t save at all, However it won't give me a error.
I can't get this to work. My program fills all the values into an Excel spreadsheet- no problems there. What I'd like to do is a print preview/print function. I can't seem to get my code right, all I get are blank pages in the print preview box.
Dim oExcel As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:DailyLogsDailyLog.xlsx")
PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDocument1
PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog()
oExcel.Sheet1.PrintPreview()
So as I see it, this should open excel, then navigate to the actual excel file. The print preview dialog should come up, which it does, and the excel sheet1 should be previewing, but it's not? I don't have any errors, just a blank print preview. At least thats how I see it, but obviously I'm wrong because it won't work.
I have a template in an excel worksheet. I can successfully insert data into the worksheet and print it out with backend coding.
The problem I am facing is, the reverse empty space for the header and side is too much.
Is there any possible way to reduce the empty space?
Using NPOI and attempting to follow a tutorial here: [URL]..I'm coming across an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error at this line: sheet.GetRow(1).GetCell(1).SetCellValue("some test value")
when trying to use this code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Web.Security
Imports NPOI.HSSF.UserModel
Imports NPOI.SS.UserModel
Imports NPOI.SS.Util
Imports NPOI.HSSF.Util
[Code]...
Yet the question is still open...why didn't the code in the first example work? Do you have to declare every new row of data? What happens when you have lots of rows of database data?
I need to open a .xlt for editing, like so:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Template.xlt", "Editable=True")
But I don't know the correct switch in Excel. This is the same as right-clicking on an .xlt and choosing "Open", whereas the default action is "New".
I get the following error message when I try the following:[code]"Excel cannot open the file 'ContactReports.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."What I would like to do is Open a excel file that is the XLTemplatePath and the either rename or save the file at the XLSaveReportPath and then use that renamed/saved file to fill the report out.I am using Visual Studio 2008 in VB.NET

View 1 RepliesI'm working on my first T4 code generation tool to add some Stored Procedure helper code to my project. I've created custom types (e.g. StoredProcedure and StoredProcedureParameter to help with my code generation and have included the assembly and namespace references in my code:
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="VB" #>
<#@ output extension=".generated.vb" #>
<#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #>
<#@ import namespace="StoredProcCodeGenerator" #>
This allows me to use my custom types in my T4 template code. However, because my custom types exist in the same project as the T4 template code, I can't recompile my project once I run the template code without restarting Visual Studio. This isn't very much fun.
I read a great article that addresses this exact issue by using the T4 Toolbox, but it's not working. Either I'm implementing the VolatileAssembly directive wrong or the T4 toolbox simply didn't get installed. I'm not sure that the toolbox got installed correctly (I'm using VS 2010 on Win XP).
I am just starting out on VB so this is a very elementary question. If I want parse a file and store results in a csv format, which template do I use? Console Application? Empty Project?
View 1 RepliesI need to access the current instance of MS Excel. To do that, I wrote the following code:
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Imports System.Diagnostics
Private _ExcelApp As Excel.Application
[Code].....
The code runs nice, but it has a problem: After the user close the Excel application (click button X - note: no other instance of Excel exists), if you open the Windows's task manager, its possible to see the process Excel.exe.
If I open and close the Excel application, there is no process Excel.exe, but if I run my code with the Excel application openned, after the user close the Excel application, the process Excel.exe isn't finished.

I have been working on a inventory management system for a friend of mine. It has to be able to keep track of incoming and outgoing stock from his business.
I have already got all the programing done, working great! But now it has got to the stage, that I need the program to print out invoices from the program. I have the program extract certain records from an attached database, and will most probably pass them into a variable in the function.
NOW... I have a template of the tax invoice page setup in MS word. I was going to make a macro in word that will automatically fill in all the "static" information, but I was wondering if passing the variables from the main program into the word macro is: 1. possible and 2. the best way of doing this.
I am still a noob when it comes to VB so please excuse the next question, but is there a way to set up a page to be printed including tables, logo, different font styles.. etc within the VB program?

View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2008 Express, and I was wonder which Visual Studio Installed Template I should use just to execute VB code? Previously, I generated a project using Window Form template with a button to start, and it has references which made my .exe not to execute in any directory structure. Someone indicated that it must not have other absolute references and I think this was using absolute references? All I need to is to execute VB Code. What template would you suggest? Where do I put the start of the VB program to execute at? Since I don't need a form, there is no on event for me?

View 3 RepliesI've done a lot of work to customize the template for ContextMenu in my app, and it worked great as a "right-click" popup window.To my enormous surprise, when I wanted to add the same ContextMenu to a button to work as a kind of "drop-down" menu, it reverted back to the default template. It is really, really, weird, considering it's the exact same control I'm using, and when I right-click the button the template is the one I customized, but when I left-click it(and open it with ContextMenu.IsOpen = True) it uses the default template? I'm pretty baffled right now, and hope that this isn't one of the (many) quirks with WPF that will require me to write hundreds of lines of XML code to fix something that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place.
