I cannot find any up-to-date information on the internet on how to successfully open an excel document from a VS 2010 application.
What imports/declares are needed to open, save, close and (if you know) how to enter current values of variables into certain cells in the Excel document from a Visual Studio 2010 application?
I am converting several VBA projects to Windows form applications. The only problem I have is that some of the functionality of Excel is essential to the application, such as R1C1 formulas. I do not want to instantiate the Excel application or access saved worksheets. All of the data is retrieved by querying Oracle databases. 2-Dimensional arrays are not an option because the columns contain differing datatypes, and DataGridViews are too slow to work with.
I thought simply dimming a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet object would be enough, but the program kept failing and upon inspecting the object's elements in debug mode, I found that every value says this:
{"Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.WorksheetClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D8-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."}

When saving as an xls it works fine but when saving as a htm its a disaster Just a bunch or symbols and stuff. BUT if I go into my xls document and Save As webpage from there, it works fine!
My task is simple enough for most .net programmers , open a new work book in excel and view a new work sheet. I know how to program this task easily using vb.net, only because i had to do a similar task a few seasons ago. However, when I confronted this task last week my previous solution did not work. Here is my code.

when the program tries to opens an excel file, it always throws me an error "Office has detected a problem with this file. Editing may hard your computer" and my program crushes.......The problem appears on the SECOND line, on DIM wb...blahblah.. i went to the office and unclicked the "protected view" checkboxes.. but it still throws me those errors. my guess is that the office i have in the computer is not the same as the one that my program uses to open excel files (i mean, i loaded/imported some excel.dll files in the program so i guess that will be the one) But how do i make the program not care if the excel file is "potentially dangerous"?

I would like to be able to have my users open an Excel file and include their add-ins they have installed and usually show up when Excel normally starts. Using this code, Excel opens with no add-ins visible:
vb.net Dim excel As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim wb As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Try excel = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
wb = excel.Workbooks.Open(filelocation & "checks.xls")
excel.Visible = True
[Code]...
Is there a property to allow add-ins when opening an Excel file?
I have created a picturebox in a form that I want to click on and then it would send me to a excel file that I already have created. I don't know if it is even possible. Do I need to use a button instead?, or am I just way off all together.

View 9 RepliesI have an application that opens up Excel, reads some information, then closes Excel. I developed this application using Microsoft Office XP 2007. A few weeks ago, my company upgraded to Microsoft Office 2010. The applications still works fine, but I can not compile in VS 2008 anymore. I get the error message: "Error 3 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'." I have updated my COM reference to Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library, but the same message appears. [code]Obviously there is a bunch of stuff under this, but this shows where the errors are.I am unable to fix a bug in the program because I can not even compile it without error.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
I am developing a vb.net app that should read cell values from excel. However, it is not returning any results and I thought that it would be really simple. I have imported all the references viz. Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library.

View 8 RepliesMy company is currently using a Linux/Powerterm program that exports reports via email on a daily basis. I have a add-in program installed on outlook to automatically save the report to a folder on the server. The file that is exported appears to be an XLS 97-2003 Worksheet, but I confirmed from the original programmer that this file is not a true Excel file, I believe it is a unicode file, but it can be opened by Excel. I want to link these files to an Access database within my form, but Access does not recognize this file format.I attempted to create several programs in Studio to convert the file to an XLSX file, but on each attempt I receive an error the file is an in unrecognizable format which is killing me at the moment. I even made attempts to dump the data to an dgv but it still wont be accepted.

I have this program that uses OLEDB connection to open the excel file, and imports it's data. Then I use mysql connection to inserts all this data. Now my question is, is it possible that I can use mysql connection in opening the excel file, or only OLEDB connection is the most possible way to open it?
