My application needs to extract an embedded file (OLE object) from an excel 2003 document to a file on disk. This file can be any type, not only an Office document. Searching in the web it seems to be possible by copying OLE object to Clipboard and later copying (binary) it to a file (¿perhaps using MemoryStream and FileStream?), but I see no working code about this.

View 3 RepliesI have a .trx file (a unit test result file) which is just xml inside and I want to read the file compare a few of the tags and change them as necessary and save the file again.
I found that VB.NET has a few tools to help so the first thing I do is load the document into an xml document which seems to work fine but I can't access any of the data I need. Right now I'm trying to access the attributes of the counters tag and change them after rerunning some of the tests.
this loads the file:

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 use the following code snippet
Dim exlapp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application

xlWorkBook_new = exlapp.Workbooks.Open(strOriginal)
The code hangs in the last line. It works fine in the development environment. i deployed in windows server 2000 ,where I get this issue. the browser goes half way and throws the below exception after some time

View 1 RepliesI have some code that is extracting tracked changes from a document. The trouble is its very slow, taking around 60 seconds to capture each tracked change. I originally thought that pagination was slowing down the code (its quite a large word document). However I have turned that off but its made no difference to the speed of the function.

What I'm trying to do is extract values, colors, comments, and any formulas for a range of cells in a given worksheet. The ultimate goal is convert a spreadsheet someone has been using as a database into Access tables.
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Value 'extract value WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Font.ColorIndex 'extract color index WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Comment.Text 'extract comment WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Formula 'extract formula DOES NOT WORK
The return value for .Formula is same as .Value. That's not what I need. I'm looking for a textual representation of the formula (to extract rate information embedded within the formula).

View 2 RepliesI have two questions concerning navigation in a 'mutlipage' control embedded in a form layout in Excel:
(1) I would like to be able to automatically move from page_1 to page_2 through a closeout button click command on page_1 (i.e. when actions are complete on page 1, page 2 will open without needing to click on the tab). Is this achievable ?
(2) secondly, While realising it is a simple step to set up navigation to another Excel workbook, is it conveniently possible (from a button command in the multipage) to open another directory, e.g. MMC console

View 9 RepliesI am embedding an xsd file into my console program so I can use it to parse XML files into a datatable which I then will parse and process into a text file and into a database. I have embedded the file and can access it by going to My.Resources.LinerTester. This will return a string, but in order to use it on the Dataset.ReadXmlSchema method I have to convert it to an XSD, otherwise I get an error saying invalid characters. How can I take the embedded resource and convert it to an XSD file? I know the XSD file works fine, if I read it from a location on the hard drive it will process the XML files into a dataset just fine, so the file itself is valid.
