Office Automation :: Installed PIA Redistributable But Can't Use Outlook Namespace?
Nov 11, 2010
I installed the API redist [URL] for Office 2010 (Office 2010 was already installed). Then I tried to use code from MSDN [URL] just to see how it worked. I included the code here, since it's short. At the top of the file:
Code:
Imports Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook
... and in the class:
Code:
Private Sub SendSalesReport()
Dim mail As Outlook.MailItem = CType(Application.CreateItem( _
Outlook.OlItemType.olMailItem), Outlook.MailItem)
[code]....
Unfortunately, VS2010 balks at the very first line, not recognizing the namespace. What do I need to do?Oh, and I can't find Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll anywhere, either. Shouldn't that have been installed?
i was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type
I have a macro written in VB in Excel, which reads emails from Outlook. I would like to automatize this process, but everytime, when Excel wants to access the outlook, I have to give permition to do that, see http://apophis.wz.cz/permition.PNG (It's in czech, but you will see the point). Is there any way to give this permition for ever? Or for long time, such as 10 hours? (I can choose max. 10 minutes).
I a using the following code to insert a calender appointment into the default calender in outlook 2007. My problem i am having is that my customer know has a mobileme calender in outlook as well so I need to be able to insert an oppointment in to this calender which is not the default one.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to have vb extract an attachment from an outlook email and save it to a specified directory. What I have is a program that when a file (outlook attachment) is dropped onto the main form it saves that file to a specific directory. I have the following code which seems to work for anything other than Outlook (possibly because outlook's drag and drop feature is defined differently?):
Code: Private Sub Form1_DragDrop(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles MyBase.DragDrop Try
I am using Office 2003 with VS2008. I am trying to add appointments to a brand new calendar in public folders. Adding the first appointment works fine. However each and every other appointment from that point, is deleted when I add another one. Here is the code, that I am using.
Code:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application objOutlook = New Outlook.Application() Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace = objOutlook.Session
I have a VB NET application that reads through my Outlook 2007 Inbox and retrieves email addresses - the only problem I have is that mailitem.recipients returns the CC addresses but not BCC s,
I have a customer who wants to send emails to his customer and suppliers with confirmation of order, purchase orders etc. instead of printing them and mailing them (postal strikes in the UK, and threats of more).
I have the following code which works on a Vista machine:
Code: 'Created Outlook Application object Dim OLApp As New Outlook.Application 'Creating outlook Namespace object
I have an application, running multiple threads, and in many of these threads, Outlook is being called, some mails read, attachments downloaded, and then the outlook instance closed. But it is possible that there are a number of threads trying to do the same thing at the same time. There is of course a lock at the beginning and end of the process, so that no two threads try to access the outlook application at the same time.
"Sometimes" i get an error message : Creating an instance of the COM component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} from the IClassFactory failed due to the following error: 80010108
I am using Outlook 2003, VB 2008 and Win XP.I am storing user ID's in the User1 field of the Outlook Address Book. This is working find I want to Find all Address Book items with a value in User1 [code]This will find an Address Book item, even if the User1 field is not blank. When I debug, the first entry found has OlContactItem.User1 = Nothing.If I set User1 to a value (for example Id # is 1234, so I set User1 = "1234"), I can find just the one Address Book item with:[code]How can I find just the Address Book Items with User1 is blank?

I have created a class which builds a Crystal report and displays it in a report viewer. However, without the Crystal Redistributable, the code crashes. How can I programatically detect whether the end-user has the Crystal DLL installed? The code I am required to include is:
I installed VB Express 2008 on my machine and it went without a redistributable file. It got download during the install. Anyone knows where I can download the redsitributable file from, so I can give it to my students?

like we have in office 2007 Billing Statement, Blood Presser Tracker, Time Card , etc. Is it possibe to show the template which is created by me; under Installed templates?
It appears that when one creates an instance of Excel, using CreateObject, (Late binding), the suggested Excel closing function (with GC.collect etc) does not work. I have tried several suggestions, and the only one that works is process.kill method. Do you see any problem in using this? BTW: the reason we are using late binding is that we cannot use Office PIAs....not sure which version of Office would be installed on the client site. We work with O2003, but the client might still be at 2000 or 2002.
I have written an automation addin in Excel with C# (addin.dll). To use the addin, I need to 1. register it using "regasm /codebase c:...addin.dll"2. select in ExcelOptionsAddInsExcel AddinsAutomation the respective addin from the list
I would like to automatize 1) and 2), so that the user just needs to run an exe-file in order to use the addin. 1) should be no problem, but how can one automatize 2)?
Ok basically what I need to do is the following:Read FirstExcelDoc (attached)For every row in that: Retrieve data from sql server db based on info in the Orange columns of FirstExcelDoc Let's say I retrieved data elements A, B, C, D, and E from sql server. Then I need to enter those same data elements A, B, and C in another excel spreadsheet (which has formulas etc) After inputing A, B, and C in that spreadsheet, read a couple of calculated fields and compare those results to data elements D and E retrieved originally from SQL Server DB. Finally, output the results in the Blue columns of the FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet for that row.Loop through and do the same thing for row 2 of the FirstExcelDoc and keep on until you see "END TEST" in the FirstExcelDoc.
I'm looking for a method of doing this efficiently. I have read several articles over the past few days as well as those from Mike R. but just need some direction to get started on this.To start of I'm looking for whether to read the entire FirstExcelDoc spreadsheet or just read the info for first policy number(2nd row) and process it and write out the blue column info for that row and then loop through and come back and read the second policy number (3rd row) etc... Please attach a code snippet for either way of reading the data.
I'm using excel via interop in application.Sometimes users kill application that created excel instance and that results in excel instance sitting in memory without any chance of disposing it.First I tried to tackle this using ROT(running object table) looks like not all instances of excel are registered there.Than I tried to somehow mark excel process after it is started via interop.[code]This works as long as excel is visible but in my case excel window is invisible.All I need is to somehow mark process that started via automation with the parent PID, so that later I can kill it if parent does not exist.
I have successfully automated a PowerPoint Metrics presentation with VB.Net. However, since there were many complicated calculations, it took quite some time to make the 120+ slide presentation - so I recently tried to revamp the application to be multi-threaded.
I've got VS2008 and Office2010, but I don't have Office2007. Therefore, I have the Word14 Object Library but not the Word12 Object Library. Will the code that I create for Office2010 automation also work where clients only have Office2007 or will they have to upgrade their office suites?
We have a vb program which is run on our server by scheduled task every day. The program opens about 30 excel files, refreshes the data connections, pivot tables and then saves the document in another location.
This may run fine for a couple days but sooner or later the process starts crashing, usually with this error: RPC_E_SERVERFAULT.
My question is, Is it expected that continually opening/closing/refreshing workbooks will inevitably cause the Excel object to crash at some point.
I've developed shared addin for Microsoft Word. I distribute this addin with my application and using Inno setup for installation. The Inno setup installs my application and then runs "myAddin.msi" file in order to install addin.
how to uninstall this addin programatically?
Right now, in order to uninstall addin, the user has to to it manually through control panel.

I've made Add-in for Word 2007 in VS2005.It worked well with Word 2007 and now it works well with Word 2010 32 bit.However it doesn't work with Word 2010 64 bit. The installation is successful, but the ribbon button doesn't show up.
Do you have any experience with add-ins for Office 64 bit?
I'm having an issue where my excel.exe process doesn't close until I close my .net application. I'd like to avoid using Process.Kill() if at all possible.
Code:
Private Sub WriteRowsToXls(ByVal rows As DataRowCollection, ByVal xlsPath As String, ByVal showStatus As Boolean, Optional ByVal AddTotals As Boolean = True) Dim xlsApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
[CODE]............
This method references a couple of other methods I use for repeated formatting tasks, I'll include those methods below. (I added the FinalReleaseComObject into the other methods after reading Mike's thread but the issue persists)
Code: Private Sub SetRangeValidation(ByVal rng As Range) With rng.Validation .Delete()
[CODE]..............
Method SetRangeAllBorders does about the same as these other methods but my post is too long to add it. The only other things not shown in these code snippets are a few string variable that are defined in the class, studentWS, studentsWSPW, paymentsWS and paymentsWSPW My App creates an instance of the class, loads some data, runs the method above, and then sets the class to nothing. I'm using .NET 3.5 automating Excel 10
