I need to export the contents of DataGridView into an Excel file. There is lot of discussion which I went thru and leaves me more confused now than before. I am using VS 2010 Express with Office 2007.
In the VB project reference components, I looked for Office components and did not find it there.
Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
View 12 RepliesI have a project which opens a simple Excel file and populates it. It was working fine until this morning, when it has suddenly started giving me the error above: 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.I haven't changed any project references, or anything within the file itself. The references include Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. The imports statement is there: importsMicrosoft.Office.InteropThe object declaration is also complete: Dim xl AsMicrosoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application which is the line that's giving me the error!
View 2 RepliesBasically I've coded an Excel 2007 project in VB.NET 2010 that allows you to create charts with a fair amount of interactivity. I want the user to be able to save and reopen this workbook and still have that interactivity in any already-created charts, so they don't have to re-create them.
When I create the charts, I use Sheet1.Controls.AddChart(...), which returns a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart with which I can handle events and such. However, when I reopen the file and look through the Sheet1.Controls collection, there are no Chart objects. Accessing the charts through Sheet1.ChartObjects.Chart gives me Interop Charts, when I need the Tools Charts.
It says .Application ambiguous Error6'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word'.
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
oWord = CType(CreateObject("Word.Application"), Word.Application)
oDoc = oWord.Documents.Add()
I have a function in my application which exports data to excel. It works fine when it is installed in a pc where office is installed. How can I run in a pc where Office is not installed? Do I need to install full Office in user computer? Are there any redistributables which makes my work done??

I'm trying to upgrade a VB6 app to VB 2008. I have read the article in the tutors corner about automating Excel from VB but I cannot get it to work. Heres what I have done:
1) set a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
2) Added "Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" to the top of the module
3) in a routine I have added: Dim X As New Excel.Application Here's where I get an error: Error 75 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.
I have been doing a lot of reading on this topic and most folks seem to agree that having Excel is required to use the COM Interop libraries. However they are never specific as to where that should be installed. Does it need to be installed on the machine I am developing on or does it need to be on every machine that I deploy to?
Edit: I should mention that this is desktop development/deployment targeted for all Windows machines.

So I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I don't have office loaded on my computer. Now I have another laptop, with office that I loaded this project on, and it works fine. So do I have to load office on this computer, or can I just reference something?

I'm using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel in VB.Net in order to export an .xls file as a .pdf file. This was the only method I could find without relying on third party software to be installed on the running machine or using an expensive add-on to Visual Studio. This method requires opening excel and saving a file through the code.
My problem is that I only have a trial version of Microsoft office as I never actually use it. Well the limitation of times I can open it is up as I have run the program enough times for debugging purposes and now I can't continue development on this application. Is there a development kit for visual studio that provides the API I need for this functionality without actually having Office installed? I don't need Microsoft Office so I don't want to have to buy a full version just to develop and test an application.
I've looked at some options like this, but there is very specific formatting that needs to remain intact in the .xls for the conversion to .pdf that doesn't seem to work if I use an intermediary format. I've also read a little bit about the openOffice API, but is that compatible with .Net? If so, can someone point me to a tutorial that explains how to use the API with .Net? Specifically VB if possible, but I can work with C# code.

have a Visual Basic 2008 project with references to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel and Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access for Office 12/Office 2007. I also have Office 2007 installed on my PC. I tried running my program on a PC which has Office 2003installed (i installed the compatibility pack to open .xlsx files) and the Access Database Engine for .accdb Databases.It does not have VS2008 installed but has .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.

I'm wondering if you can use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel in a windows service application type.
I've a windows form application which opens an Excel file and do some actions and save it as another file. All this is working perfect in windows forms. When I copy the same code and paste it in a windows service, then it is not possible to open the file even.

I have a program that reads data from excel.
I use:Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop as well as a Reference from the "COM" tab called "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library"
I built my program then copied the .exe from the inDebug folder to a location on my company's server. I then double clicked the .exe and it ran as I expected it would.My boss then tried (from another computer) and he gets this error:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

I have a software that writes data to Excel sheet. I'm using Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library for this. Everything is working fine so far, but apparently the drivers require Microsoft Office installed onto the computer.
Is there a way to write data to Excel format without having Microsoft Office installed?
I have a datagridview(DGV) which contains data based on a user selections from a pre-defined dataset
In point form:
User starts program
program builds datatable
user opens file and program read all data from file into the dataset.datatable
user defines the data they want to see
program displays datagrid based on dataset.datatable and user choices. (basically it displays the whole dataset and removes unwanted columns
ecords)
I want to be able to export the datagrid to excel (not sure which method yet). I have tried the excelexporter component i found somewhere on the msdn forums (it exports the data to look exactly like the datagridview) but its painfully slow. It exports something in the region of 100 records per minute. Most of the time, the datagridview can contain anywhere from 3000-32,000 records. As such, at 100 records per minute, the excel generation can take updwards of 50minutes. Unacceptably slow for the purposes of the program.
What do people recommend as the best method to quickly dump the contents of a datagrid into excel. By quickly, im talking at the speed of about 10,000 records per minute. In all honesty, anything over 5000 records per minute will be fast enough, but the quicker the better!
Is there a way of creating a new dataset.datatable that is built of the contents of the datagridview and then building an excel sheet by connecting to the new dataset?
I would like to be able to export to Excel 2000-2003 at a minimum, but if i can do excel 97 as well it won't hurt.
I have a problem in exporting data grid view to excel. The problem is while i export the contents are exporting but the 'column header' is not exporting to excel. can any one give me solution its urgent this the code which im using.[code]
View 5 RepliesI am filling a datagridview with very lengthy results. Roughly 60k rows on average. I am filling them via an oracle database using a table adapter. The records then have a filter placed on them in the datagridview so the results displayed are a bit different.
My problem: I built an export to excel function which populated a dataset and then red through it and wrote to excel. Bad idea with the amount of records I am using. I tried just writing the records straight to a csv file using streamwriter but I don't very much like this way.
My proposal: I would like to fill an array from the datagridview and then be able to dump the array into excel. However I am having some trouble finding examples on creating an array from a datagridview.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and looking for an efficient and hopefully straightforward approach for exporting data from a DataGridView to Excel. If doable, my preference would be to export the data to Excel without instantiating an Excel application. I found some code on the Microsoft support site that is fairly accessible but the example shows how to export just a few pieces of data. Would someone be able to demonstrate how to modify this code to so that it could be used for large amounts of data (for example, data from a DataGridView).

I have a a DGV with the following fields:
FirstName
LastName
Address
Job
StaffNum
Nationality
DOB
Notes

Now my DGV has records in it and I try to export it to Excel File. Now it exports the the Column Names above but none of the records. My code is below.
Dim fs As New IO.StreamWriter("C:exported.xls", False)
fs.WriteLine("<?xml version=""1.0""?>")
fs.WriteLine("<?mso-application progid=""Excel.Sheet""?>")
fs.WriteLine("<ss:Workbook xmlns:ss=""urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"">")
fs.WriteLine("<ss:Styles>")

I got this code from the MSDN forums from a link someone posted. They said they changed IntCol and it worked to incoude the records as well but I cant figure it out. When I hit Export it does prom,pt me to save the file and saves the Names above to excel sheet but none of the records.
I used Visual Studio 2005. It works well when testing, but when I publish it got error: Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'D:OfficeStationaryV0.2ReportTMPReportItem.xlsx'. There are several possible reasons: - The file name or path does not exist. - The file is being used by another program. - The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
my following code is:
Dim ExcelApp

As Excel.Workbook
