I am building a windows form application using visual basic (visual studio 2008). The idea is to query a MySQL DB and export the results to an excel document. I managed to do this using this code (I will just show the export to excel part):
Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
Imports System.Configuration
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

And it works fine on my laptop (which has office 2003 installed), but when I create the setup package and install it on the server where I am going to use it (which does not have office installed), I get this error:
"Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {00024500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80040154."
And for the record, I need the excel file, not a CSV.
I need to export Chart(image) and grid (tabular) row data into excel file. I can not use automation because Office tools are not installed in my server. I've found a bunch of free/proprietary tools like:
NPOI
MyXLS
ExcelWriter (softartisans)
JetCell (DevTrio)
Aspose.Cells (Aspose)
But I do not know which one is better for my needs. I need to export not only grid row data but also Chart (image), thats why I am thinking about.
I have a function in my application which exports data to excel. It works fine when it is installed in a pc where office is installed. How can I run in a pc where Office is not installed? Do I need to install full Office in user computer? Are there any redistributables which makes my work done??

View 11 RepliesI am writing a WinForm app on Visual Studio .Net 2005 which will be a rudimentary "unit tester" for various MS Excel 2003 applications...basically, it will ensure the integrity of the VBA code which fires off in the event lifecycle of the workbook.As a test for a "unit test failure," I created a simple workbook which generates a runtime error at the Workbook_Open event in the VBA code (an intentionally placed out-of-index call to an array). I have no problem opening workbooks via the .Net WinForm using the Excel Object library. My problem is that the run-time error is not captured by the WinForm app -- instead, it throws the runtime error directly on the Excel thread which the WinForm app starts.Is there a way for the WinForm app leveraging office interop to catch that excel runtime exception?
I've tried encasing the call in a Try-Catch block using a general Exception a COMException (via the System.Runtime.InteropServices library) catch...I've also tried instantiating the workbook directly using CreateObject(sPath) and instantiating an Excel Application, then using that to open the workbook...all with the same results...instead of the .Net app catching the exception, the runtime error bubbles up directly to the Excel application.Is there any way, either on .Net or the VBA code, for the WinForm app to catch and handle an Excel run-time error?
I have a software that writes data to Excel sheet. I'm using Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library for this. Everything is working fine so far, but apparently the drivers require Microsoft Office installed onto the computer.
Is there a way to write data to Excel format without having Microsoft Office installed?
I am working with Vb.net and this code below works fine. However, when I review the data exported to excel I have a problem with one particular field i.e., sort code,( Columns (2) ) Sort code in the database it is in the format 00-00-00. Therefore if it is 12-11-09 or 11-01-66, a look alike of a valid date it is displayed as 12/11/2009 and 11/01/1966 in excel after the export. Excel thinks its a date which is incorrect. I expect it to show 12-11-09 and 11-01-66.

I'm running into a bit of a roadblock here. I have tried to search the web/forums for answer for last several hours to no avail and I'm not the expert VB Programmer.However, I was able to write an app to do the following:
1) read Outlook emails for particular emails containing xml link in which I was able to download the file and save to my hard drive.
2) opened the Excel spreadsheet to run the macro which import those XMLs into existing XLS spreadsheets to refresh the data.
3) Those XLS spreadsheets are linked in my MS Access in which I join all four XLS sheets to create one report via Query which I have created in the past prior to this app development.
I have manually done a File Export of this query via ALT+F then E and what I'd like to do is to either take control of menu commands OR alternate method of performing a File Export to a new Excel spreadsheet (version 2003).I've seen two different methods, one via DoCmd OutputtoFile and another is TransferSpreadsheet.Here's my Access coding I have in my VB 2010:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Public Class OutlookOfflineEmailExtractor
Dim wsAccessApp As Access.Application
[code]....
Following code below. I will explane what it does and it needs to do.
Its a query that fills a gridview. Everything thats in the gridview needs to be exported to a excelsheet.
I've got it working that when i fill it, it will fil the sheet with only the same line. Im not a prof VS developer.

Now the problem is the following.
Code:
It need to pick up each line but it only picks up the first line and duplicate's it.

i was wondering if someone could give me the final explanation on what i might be doing wrong here.I spent a lot of time reading around the net and the forum about how to add Threading capabilities to a VB project.
Nos, i've got .NET 4 installed, and i've added the system.tsr and mscorlib.dll files as reference in, say, Excel 2007 (see screenshot).However, when i try to make a thread with anything as basic as "Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread", i get a user-defined type not found error.Indeed, when i use the object browser to see what's in the System file, theres nothing remotely linked to any Threading, and in the mscorlib file, nothing under "Threading" either, just a few Thread related functions, but nothing defining a data type

View 4 RepliesI'm calling the following method from a button click event to export a datatable to excel. After the export is completed, the excel application object is quit, released and assigned to nothing. But in reality it's not getting released and stays active unless the entire application is closed. So every time the button is clicked for export, a new excel application object keeps on running. The problem doesn't occur if two of the lines from the method below are not used. But I can't omit them as they are really needed. Check the * marked lines.

View 3 RepliesSo I've been trying to write an Add-In for Excel for a week now. I already have the add-in made up in VBA (CustomUI.xml has been added too for a ribbon). I've been using it for awhile now from Excel's VBA Editor. But I want to get a bit more fancy with it, so I'm going to re-write it in VB.net since it's ribbon designer is nicer than writing XML code by hand. The only problem is, I've been very confused on how Visual Studio sets up all the references to Excel.As I've been looking through examples in threads across this forum I see a lot of people using this code to get access to Excel.

I am working on a legacy VB.NET application that uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, with Office 2003 installed on the server. When I publish my site, even though my config file clearly shows v11: The site will crash saying v12 couldn't be found: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Note: I currently have Office 2003 & 2007 installed on my dev machine, also, when looking @ references I am given the option of selecting v11 or v12 (so v11 is def. there). Within a page on the site the page does an import statement for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Is it possible to specify the version at this point, or any way to force it to use v11 without me uninstalling my v12?
