VS 2005 : Error In Opening An Excel File : Old Format Or Invalid Type Library
Feb 24, 2012I am trying to open an Excel file using the following commands:
xlsWB = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(filename, , True)
where 'filename' is the name of the file.However I am getting the following error message:
Message = "Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))"
I originally developed an application where I used the above code with default language setting of "English" (under regional and language settings). When I am changing the language setting to "French", the above errror comes up. I am changing the language setting to French in order to simulate an error when this application is run in a French version computer.

Mar 27, 2012I had a working program a while ago, but now it is giving me an error when I try to insert some data to my Excel-file.I get this error: Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD)) For example, one of my Excel referencing codes is:

Dim XL_WS1 As Excel.Worksheet = XL_WB.Worksheets(1)
The above code used to work, but now it gives me the error...I recently updated my Office from 2003 to 2010. How can I fix it?

VS 2008 Invalid Parameter Error When Trying To Get Favicon In Stream
Aug 24, 2009I am using VB.Net 2008 Express and trying to build a favorites list for a webbrowser I am working on.I get an invalid parameter error on the line that reads favicon = image.FromStream(stream).[code]the urls are stored in an array after they are taken from an xml file.I checked the url that was being used when the error occurs and it seems fine. I can even navigate to it in IE.The error I get is that "stream" is an invalid parameter, at least that is where it points to.It also shows that stream is a type System.NET.ConnectStream.Stream was originally set to System.IO.Stream.I don't know if this is a problem but it processes several urls before it gets to this one.I am wondering if this may be a permissions issue and the site is blocking the WebRequest or if it is something else.

.net - Pivot Cache Type Mismatch Error Excel
May 2, 2012Please see bottom edit for where I am currently at I have created a pivot table that works fine when the pivot cache is defined as:
Dim ptCache As Excel.PivotCache = mainHighway.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=Excel.XlPivotTableSourceType.xlDatabase, SourceData:=mainHighwayData.Range("a1:v7500"))
My problem is that the number of rows changes from day to day, so I figure out the number of rows in the worksheet and then use that in my pivot cache:
Dim highlRow As Integer
highlRow = mainHighwayData.Cells.SpecialCells(XlCellType.xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
Dim ptCache As Excel.PivotCache =
[code].....
This returns the proper number for the last row, but once again throws the same type mismatch error.
Edit: I found out another bit of information, but I am not sure what to do with it. The pivot table works fine if the values in it are <= 65536, but the second I increase the range to 65537 I get the type mismatch that has been haunting me. This is true for all numbers >= 65537. I know that 65535 or there abouts used to be the last row in excel, but that is no longer the case. Also when I create the pivot table manually in excel I have no trouble and it has all of the data. I am using int or long, so it should not be an overflow or anything. Anyone have any thoughts on why VB.NET will not let me make a pivot table based on data with more than 65537 rows?
VS 2010 Error: Type 'Excel.application' Is Not Defined?
Jun 3, 2011I dont get this. I use code from one project that works and paste into anther and now its full of errors.
I have no clue how to solve this (See attached image).All of the errors have to do with Excel and Outlook applications.The info for "Imports" section is the same as my other project and all the "Dims" are the same as well. (These are two separate projects).Basically, I copied a form from one app and made a stand alone app for that form.

Excel Spreadsheet Opens With The Error "this File Is Not In Recognizable Format"?
Apr 9, 2009[Background]:I created a Winforms App that reads data and spits it out into an Excel Spreadsheet. On my computer, I have Microsoft Office 2003 and inside of the Visual Studio Project, I referenced COM Object "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library". The Executable is on a shared directory and end users can run the application and generate the reports themselves.
[Problem]:Problems arise when an end user with Microsoft Office 2007 runs the application, generates the Excel Spreadsheet and sends it to someone with Microsoft Office 2003, the Excel Spreadsheet opens with the standard "this file is not in recognizable format" error and when you push "ok", the data shows up as symbols (garbled text).
[Question]When I reference "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library" in my project, how does the .Net Framework (or my Application) find this COM Object object when it is ran from another CPU?I guess, I would like to know how references work. When you reference DLLs in a VS.Net project, compile the program and then put the execuable on another PC, how does VB.Net go about finding those DLLs you referenced or is it part of the compiled program?
I suspect when a user running MS Office 2007 runs my app, it is running a 2007 dll instead of a 2003 dll.However, I would think an error would be thrown if this was the case.

Invalid Cast Exception On Same Type?
Apr 15, 2012i know this may seam odd but I'm getting an error navigating through a datagrid of an invalid cast. The trouble is it is of the same types!! I working on customising some Sage code and in the form there is a datagrid that is populated by a series of Sage.Accounting.Stock.TraceableSOPAllocationItems (a batched stock item allocated to an SOP).
I want to give the user some further information on each item so they can decide which batch and bin to use. I want to go through each item in the grid and then go find this extra information for it. the trouble is when I go to navigate through, My VB.Net code throws the error.InvalidCastException was unhandled by user code, Unable to cast object of type 'Sage.Accounting.Stock.TraceableSOPAllocationItem' to type 'Sage.Accounting.Stock.TraceableSOPAllocationItem'.
