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 looking for an example to export the data from a dataset to an existing excel speadsheet in vb.net 2005?
View 6 RepliesMy application reads information from an Excel spreadsheet into a DataSet (ds1) which is then filtered into another DataSet (ds2) based on user-specified criteria. The information is basically telephone call logs that reflects when a phone call was made,what extension it was made one, how long the call was, what number was called, etc.When the user's "search" criteria is matched in ds1 above, the application adds the number called to a ListBox on the form. When the ListBox Item is selected, additional information (call duration and such) is displayed to the right of the ListBox. My problem is that a single phone number could have been called multiple times on an extension within the date range the user specifies and for each occurrence of that number in the ListBox, the "expanded" info only reflects the information for the 1st call to that number listed in the DataSet.
The only unique identifier I have is the DateTime field for the row (as this goes up to the second). I thought about putting it into the ListBox item, but I'd prefer that this date not be visible until the user selects the ListBox item to view the details for that call. [code]
I am attempting to write the entire contents of an ADO.NET DataSet to an Excel 2007 spreadsheet and, while having partial success, I am unable to dump the contents of the DataSet into the .xlsx file. "Partial success" meaning that I can generate the spreadsheet(s) ok, but cannot get the DataAdapter.Update to work.

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"""

I'm writing an application in vb.net 2005. The app reads a spreadsheet into a DataSet with ADO.NET and uses a column of that table to populate a ListBox. When a ListBox Item is selected, the user will be presented with detailed information on the selected record.One part of this information isn't in the DataSet. I have to compare a column from the spreadsheet with several external data sources to determine the nature of the record in question. Here's where I have my problem.This comparison has to search through 9.5m rows in a SQL table at one stage. I've checked and there's no way to "shrink" the query down as I'm already only searching absolutely essential data.What happens is that the application never visibly does anything. The CPU usage shoots up to 100% regardless of what it was at beforehand and the system's performance becomes almost unbearably slow.Can anyone suggest a way I can improve this situation while this massive query is running? I was originally going to write the contents of the 9.5m rows in the database table to a text file which I'd then read from, but after 6.5m rows, I got an OutOfMemoryException.
View 2 RepliesMy application uses a badly arranged Excel spreadsheet as a data source. I say badly designed because there's no unique identifier to each row aside from the column where dates and times are found. My app uses the date and time on each row as an identifier to retrieve information from the other columns in the row. The idea is that the user will select a date/time from a ListBox at which time, the app will loop through the DataSet and find the date/time in the right column and display the rest of the info in that row. My issue is that the ListBox control isn't being populated and I can't see why...
Here's a sample row from the spreadsheet: (Each | character represents a cell border)
Team - FNB | O | 2010/02/18 08:59:24 | 5034 | Frederico Turnbridge | 27839963586 | SA - MOBILE - (ZA) | | 69 | O_NORMAL | | 00:01:06 |R 2.83
Here's my code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim j As Integer = 0
If TextBox1.Text.Length = 4 Then
For i As Integer = 0 To CallData.Tables(0).Rows.Count - 1
[Code] .....
This basically works on a search where the user will specify a term to search for (be it a telephone number or (in this case) a telephone extension) and a date range. Now, I know for a fact that the spreadsheet (and thus, the DataSet) has information where the date column - column index 2 - falls within the date range I'm specifying and the column after that contains my search term, but I'm not getting any results.
I am trying to create a spreadsheet based on a filtered Dataset. The problem is I cannot connect to XL. I get the following error:
Warning1Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Microsoft.office.interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
From these lines of
Imports Microsoft.office.interop
Imports Excel = Microsoft.office.interop.excel
Another issue is I only have XL 2000, and I won't be able to get 2003 anytime soon. 2003 is what the target computer is using. I would like to develop the app with 2000 and make the appropriate changes to 2003 when I get upgraded. I couldn't get any information on the 2000 PIA here: [URL]. After reading this: [URL] it almost seems like I don't need the 2000 PIA. Many of the techniques described in this document involve the use of IAs for the Office applications.
For Office 97 and Office 2000, you can autogenerate these IAs using TlbImp. Office XP includes pregenerated (and optimized) IAs that you should use instead of autogenerating IAs. An IA distributed by the owner of the original COM server is called a primary interop assembly (PIA). You should always use the specific version of the IA that matches the version of Office you're targeting. I just want to develop the app. Then I can download the 2003 PIA, right? I would use this: [URL].
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

View 1 RepliesI 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

Ive been trying to figure out how to find the next empty row in an excel spreadsheet.My project is a VB project, written in Visual Studio 2010 Express.What i need to do is open the spreadsheet (that is predefined) and find the next available row. (in column A through to S)My code so far for this little part of my prject is:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlworksheet As Excel.Worksheet
[code]....
The same as "Selection". I get a blue line for "ActiveCell" Doesn't work.
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.
View 1 RepliesI 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

i have an Excel spreadsheet which I have exported to a Gridview. In my code the table name has to be declared i.e its the name of the worksheet.

I am using vb and have a web form.
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?
What is the best way to export a gridview into an Excel spreadsheet? This seems easy except that my Gridview doesn't have an export attribute.

View 3 RepliesBasically the cells are displayed from Excel to the Visual Basic form, but once I press a button on the form to display the spreadsheet which contains the cell info, the spreadsheet won't display at all. (This I think is because the link has subsequently already called Excel). I've looked at the Task Manager and copies of Excel are already in the process, once these are deleted the spreadsheet can display from being pressed from a button on the form. How can I override this deletion method from the task manager so that the spreadsheet always displays properly from the form.
