I have a created an excel addin application in vb.net using vs2010.The application is working fine while running from IDE. Now I want to create a setup for the application to install the same addin in other system. How can I do this? I created a setup project and added the dll of the addin and created setup file. When I installed it in other machine, installation was succesful. However I could not see the addin in excel when i opened it.

I'm trying to upgrade an Excel VBA workbook to a VSTO Excel Add-in in VB.NET using VS 2010. In the original (i.e.- VBA) version I have a modeless UserForm (called frmMain) that floats on top and is visible at all times while the user is still within the Excel application, but is not visible if the user moves to another window outside of Excel.
For example, within Excel the user can click on any worksheet tab, select any cell, etc. and the UserForm is still visible. This is exactly how I'd like it. The problem is, that in the new VSTO add-in, I can not get the Windows form to mimic this same behavior. I use frmMain.Show() to show the form as a modeless form, but the moment the user clicks an Excel worksheet (i.e.- activates a worksheet) the form becomes hidden behind the worksheet.

I wrote a C# Excel automation addin (Excel 2010 64bit, VS 2010) to provide some additional user-defined-functions in Excel. Now, the addin works fine besides the fact that the two methods "OnDisconnection" and "OnBeginShutDown". are not called when I close Excel which is a problem for me. Also, while Excel seems to shut down properly, the instance is still running in the background after the excel-window has disappeared. So, apperently the problem is that Excel is not shut down properly.
View 2 RepliesI currently need to build a Automation Add-in for Excel. This add-in will load a recordset from Database to Excel. I would like to have function A() that I input in Cell as a formular. This function A() call a the add-in to load the data from Database to Excel. The data should be a matrix. So that means I would like to set in Excel worksheet a range of data by just calling single function in a cell. (I am sure there should be some way to implement it)As I know if I develop a shared Add-in by VB(or VB.Net) and in the add-in, I can get an Object of Excel.Application. By this Excel.Application object, I can get full control of Excel inside the Add-in. That means if I define a sub that load datamatrix from database and using the Excel.Application object I can populate the data matrix to the Excel.
I have done much research on internet and I now have built a shared Add-in for excel. I should say this add-in works fine without invoke the Excel.Application Object that I have tested. But when I call the Add-in function that invode Excel.Application Object from Excel I got an error as below:

Run-time error '2147467262'(*)

Problem:I am not getting the cursor (4 arrowheads) for moving the form.I am using the Panel1_MouseHover to display the cursor. Right now if I choose any other cursor then it is working but the same cursor also displays when I hover the mouse over any other control. I want the cursor to show only in the areas of the Panel where there are no controls.How do I show Tooltips for the images? The play,stop,next, previous,playlist,Hideme(with the smiley),volume are all images and not buttons?
I have written an automation addin in Excel with C# (addin.dll). To use the addin, I need to 1. register it using "regasm /codebase c:...addin.dll"2. select in ExcelOptionsAddInsExcel AddinsAutomation the respective addin from the list
I would like to automatize 1) and 2), so that the user just needs to run an exe-file in order to use the addin. 1) should be no problem, but how can one automatize 2)?
I have been Google-ing for four days now and still i can find no solution to my problem:(and my brain hurts) i recently made a windows application that pulls data from a mySQL Database and populates my form but when i was told to use excel instead of MySQL thats when the problems started. while setting up vb to connect to MySQL i found a few articles that explained in good enough detail how to set up vb before ever doing any coding
ie.( boot vb, start windows form project, click project/add reference, click on the COM tab and add the MySQL reference then click ok. next click data/Add new data source, chose database click next, click new connection, choose MySQL data source click continue, enter database info(server, user, password, port) click ok. then start coding connection strings and commands ( which i have no problem with)
My problem i can find all sorts of code to work with excel but i feel i need to go through the same environment set up as with MySQL but i cant figure out how to set it up i only need to read data from excel file to populate my form data ie.( text boxes, labels, datagridview, Ect...) does anyone know how to set up the development environment to facilitate my use of excel. or does anyone know of a better way to store and retrieve my data maybe a vb local database ( does that travel with the .exe easily?)
I have the function showed bellow to read data from Excel Worksheet.It works nice, but when the name of the worksheet to imported has spaces, it doesn't![code]

View 6 RepliesIts two programs that work together called Script Writer and Script. My problem is, I need something that will install it on other peoples machines and will be easy to install and use to make. or possibly a way to manipulate the publish option under Vb 2008 to make a setup.exe for the file that won't install it in a funky place. It also needs to install both programs in the same directory. Because Script pulls its information from output.txt which Script Writer, writes information to output.txt. I can share the Vb scripts if you like. But I'm kinda perplexed on this. I've tried installing it after publishing it, then I go to the installation folder and copy its contents, then paste them in a seperate folder on my desktop. It works on my computer but not other peoples computers. Also when publishing my program from VB 2008 it won't publish anything in my debug folder, so html.txt and output.txt doesn't get published with the setup and doesn't install when the setup is ran. So I'm having a few problems here.[url]...
