Office Automation :: Show Visio Diagram On .net FORM
Apr 5, 2010Need to show visio diagram on .net FORM, and need to be able to click on the shapes. Thats it. no creation, no stencils, no editing. Basicly just catch the click event from axDrawingControl.I'm having a "very" hard time to dig trough the visio DOM, disabling all of the functions, tool bars, menus..I basically will ever need a view-only diagram. So, to all the interop gurus out there, point me in the right direction please..I have the SDK, its (crap) not very useful in my case. Seems like a lot of resources wasted and lots of hustle for view only.

VS 2005 Excel Automation - Insert A Page Break Into The Report
Oct 27, 2009I am writing a report to an excel template and am trying to insert a page break into the report. Part of my code is included:
Imports msWE = Microsoft.Office.Interop
Dim Rnge As msWE.Excel.Range = excelApp.Range("A20:M20")
Dim excelApp As New msWE.Excel.ApplicationClass
excelApp.Worksheets.HPageBreaks.Add(Rnge)
Now the pagebreak code executes but it does nothing. Its almost as if it is being ignored. Also I have heard that using Microsoft.Office.Interop is not a good idea as it is slow and unstable.
Browser Automation - Click The Continue Button Once, Fill Out More Data On The Next Page ?
Aug 6, 2009I have managed to automate the following page: https://post.craigslist.org/atl/S/msg/none/x and even click the "Continue" button, but I noticed that my vb 2008 program is creating an infinite loop and tries to click "Continue" buttons on following pages. I only want my program to click the continue button once, fill out more data on the next page and then click another continue button on a later page. But I need the following code to end on the first page before I can continue coding for the following pages so that the web browser doesn't go crazy.Here is the code that I am using and not sure if this is called an infinite loop, but that is what it seems to be doing:

Program Automation In Windows Using 2008?
Jul 30, 2009I am trying to automate a program using Visual BAsic.NET. The idea is to invoke my "Program" at the click of a button, pass inputs to the program and save the results it would generate.For now I can invoke my program using VisualBasic.NET(comands: shell, appactivate), I can pass in data to the program( My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("a")),( just that it is broken).
the main problem is that the data to be input goes into a form with multiple tabs and I am not able to figure out the best way to select the correct tab so that I can throw my data in there and get to the results Also is this program has a dll( obviously I am new to windows application programming), is there any way i can directly pass data to the dll and get results?

Office Automation :: Excel 2003 Automation With VB 2005 Express?
Apr 20, 2010Ok 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.
Office Automation :: Orphan Excel Process Started Via Automation
Jun 17, 2009I'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.

Office Automation :: Excel Automation Causing: Rpc_e_serverfault
Jun 1, 2010We 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.
