VS 2005 - Manipulating Excel From Console App
May 5, 2012
I'm setting up a console application that ...
1. Executes a stored procedure that populates a SQL table for reporting purposes.
2. Opens an Excel Workbook.
3. Refreshes the Workbook.
4. Saves the Workbook.
5. Closes the Workbook.
6. Sends the Workbook as an attachment in an e-mail using the SmtpClient class.
Now, steps 1 through 6 are inside of a loop as I would like to use the same workbook for all my report refreshes. My perfect solution is to iterate this loop as many time as needed to have all my reports automatically sent via email as an attachment. The first time through the loop, it works perfectly, however, the 2nd time through the loop, I noticed when the application opens up the workbook, the workbook opens up as a read-only copy even though I properly closed the workbook prior to re-opening it.
I've tried to force the open as read/write but then, the 2nd time the workbook loads, an exception is thrown. I'm on Windows 7 and I noticed that the folder properties has a read-only check box which I make sure is cleared before running the application but then when I stop/pause the application to inspect the folder properties, the check box is checked again. I'm not sure if this is why I'm having issues when I open up the Workbook a 2nd time or not.

My script is pulling some information (filename, date, &c) from a server that contains only (nearly) identical excel files generated by a separate application whenever it is used. The goal is to find out who is using the tool and how often.
I need help with two things: extracting info from within the excel file, and appending the results to the SAME excel file each time it's run instead of creating a new file each time.
Here is what I have...

I have an project which was written in VB6 and made use of the Spread3.0 component to display multiple large data from database in spreadsheet. My objective is to convert this project into a VB.NET current version which would not use the third party component but can possibly use a freeware that does similar if not all the functionality.
My question is, are there any freeware that is available in .NET for such spreadsheet-like manipulation of data programatically? I have come across dsoFramer but this only allows the display of the data in an IE frame. I would like to jus embed the content into my existing form.
Also this freeware must be able to handle formula and user-editing as well as multiple cell type such as combobox/checkbox etc.

I have a bunch of Excel files, each file with multiple worksheets (aka, tabs). I want to loop thru each file, and within each file, loop thru its worksheets and do some stuff. I've included Microsoft.Office.Interop in my code and I am able to do Excel operations but I am not sure how you loop thru the multiple worksheets within a workbook.
Here is what I have so far.
Imports System
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
'The command take one argument.
'It is used to locate the current source directory where the Excel files are saved.
'The command will open each file and loop thru the tabs in the file.

I am making a console application that basically just takes in rainfall over the year, then exports the data into an Excel template and saves it. I've accomplished all this but cannot for the life of me get the window to minimize. I can change the size but everything I've tride doesn't work.

I have a query being created using oledb from access and need to get the information to an already existing excel spread sheet. I am using VS 2010 with vb.net, access and excel are 2010. I have been running in circles for the last two days and cannot figure out how to get the data from a datareader into excel. This is a vb.net console app, so no web tables or grids can be used.

With much help from the forum I am almost there with my project to emulate a cmd console using a form with a textbox (txtResults) to display the output of the (hidden) console, and another textbox (txtCommand) for me to type in commands, and send to the console with a click of a button (Button1).
The following code now almost emulates the cmd console exactly, but just one little bug still to iron out:
Look at the following pairs of screenshots from a cmd console and my emulator, and you will see the difference.

Can a contextmenu be used in a .Net 2005 console application? If so, how do I create the necessary events. I know how to create the control but not sure about the needed events. I'm thinking the only one I really need is the "Click" event.

is it possible to get the Console Application arguments as 1 string instead of a collection of string.For exemple, if I call my Console Application like this : myapp.exe This is a test I would like to get "This is a test" and not
args(0)="This"
args(1)="is"
args(2)="a"
args(3)="test"

how can I display the EURo) sign instead of a question mark in a console application on german windows XP SP3 system?(untested code due to lack of access to a XP system)
dim s as string even placing a in the code displays just a question mark
s = strings.format("currenty test: Euro {0:c}", 42)
EUR displayed as question mark
writeline(s)In the console, I can type AltGr + e to get an euro sign. So the used console font (lucidia console I think) has the correct font.

I submitted the same question a few minutes ago, but so far that hasn't appeared in the thread - I wonder why/ - I used the HTML to rite the code I used. When I Click the F5 / Strat Debug on menu the DOS-Based form appears and disappears immediately. I am able to run a DOS-Based program in the computer, I checked this after the Sample Console Application failed to run. The Code I used is given within the Brackets(System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World")).

I was thinking of adding a simple bandwidth monitor to a console application and I was wondering if it would be possible to keep a line in the console window visible at all times. I could set something up manually to pass new console output into a method that would get the contents of the console, clear the console, add the bandwidth data on the first row, then rewrite each line of previous information back to the console, etc.. but that seems like a really hacky way to go about it, and I'd be limited to the amount of rows visible at once in the console window (no scrolling).

I am currently working on an application, where I am using a console application, that will set up the application prior to the main form is run. This is no problem I've got that all working perfectly, the only problem I have is that the console is showing while the application is running, I was wondering whether anyone knows any way in which I would be able to hide the console before it gets shown to the user.
