Formatting Excel - If I Try Using Style.numberformat With The Date And Time Formats, They Don't Change And Are Entered As If Didn't Change The Format?
Mar 11, 2011I am throwing some data out into Excel and am having some formatting troubles. I have 5 columns (date, time, a long number I don't want displayed in scientific notation - text is fine, text, text). I can get it all working with numberformat, however I have to do them different ways.
Date works this way cell.numberformat = "m/d/yy" and it formats it to say 3/1/11
Time works this way cell.numberformat = "h:mm AM/PM" and it formats it to say 8:07 AM
For the long number cell.numberformat = "@" and it doesn't change the format and it gets displayed in scientific notation
BUT if I use cell.style.numberformat = "@" it works as it should, but it messes up all of the date and time cells. Apparently when you use style.numberformat, it doesn't just apply to the cell you're working with. If I try using style.numberformat with the date and time formats, they don't change and are entered as if I didn't change the format at all.

Excel File Save In Office 2007 Format?
Mar 1, 2009I'm developing a small application that creates Excel files with user details. I'm developing this in vb.net 2008 express edition under Windows XP SP2 and with Office 2003.My target PC is running Windows Vista. I'm able to run my program without any problem and even the Excel files get created without any problem on this PC.However, the problem is when I try to open one of these created files in Vista, I get a message like below:
"The file you are trying to open, "TestMe.xls", is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" If I click yes, it opens up properly. This is a headache as it opens up in my developing PC without any hassle. I'm sure its something to do with the Excel reference I've made in my PC (which is running Office 2003).How best can I save this file so it opens up in Excel 2007 without the above message.

Format A Text File?
Mar 1, 2011I've been asked to create a string slicing programme that will take data from a spreadsheet and output it to a delimited ASCII file. The data in the text file follows the structure as shown below:
<time:00:00:00:date:01/10/00:lat:52.34:long:28.30:wind:20:temp:-12recipitation:0.03:visibility:50>
The text file has about 7-8 rows off data following the same structure but with a few changes. So I want to remove the semi-colons from each row of data and format the text file so it has the correct columns on the first row and then the data below but with the long, lat removed etc. However I can't just remove all the semi colons as time uses them.[code]...

C# - Programmatically Change The Sheet Name Of A Excel File?
Feb 2, 2012Whats the easiest way to change a sheet name of a newly create .xls file using VB.net.
The .xls is created as follows in a directory location:
filename = strDirectoryName & "1-TestFeedFile-" & strToday & "-" & iFile.ToString() & "of" & totalFile.ToString() & ".xls"
outputWriter = File.CreateText(filename)
The header of the xls file is created as follows:
line = "Blah1" & Chr(9) & "Blah2" & Chr(9) & "Blah3" & Chr(9)
outputWriter.WriteLine(line)
This code was orginally written to create a .txt file but was changed to a create a .xls, in that case I'm wondering if i'll have to change the code to create an new excel object which then can be used and access its sheet property?I don't mind if the solution is in VB.net or C#

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.
Opening Resources In Text File Format In Notepad
Dec 31, 2009I'm having some trouble using resource files. In my project I'm using a bunch of bitmap files and two txt files. Bitmaps are used as backgrounds for controls, but .txt files I want to open in Notepad or WordPad. Till now I was accesing them from a file path on my machine:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(direcorypath & "/Map.bmp")
Process.Start(direcorypath & "/Instrukcje.txt")
And it worked fine. Now I added these files to my resources (it's practical for me to have them in executable file) And replaced those lines with:
ControlName.backgroundimage = New Bitmap(MyProject.My.Resources.Map)
Process.Start(MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje)
For bitmap it works fine, but for txt file an error occurs saying that a file cannot be found.
Interestin thing is: when I type "MyProject.My.Resources.Instrukcje" in "Watch" it shows the content of the file. So it is there, only not as a file?
