I am not sure I should be asking a question like this. But while going thru the thread I could understand assigning values from Excel cell when you know cells address. I am trying to find out syntax for activecell, activecell. row, activecell. offset etc.
I am trying to read a date from a cell in excel into a datagrid and then compare the current date to the one in the datagrid, however vb.net converts the date (which should be of the form 03/09/2011 UK style) into a number so for instance 03/09/2011 becomes 40789
how do i keep it as a date so i can compare it to todays date?[code]...

I'm attempting to copy cells, one at a time, from an Excel 2003 (or 2007) spreadsheet to a Word 2003 (or 2007) table. I'd like the code to be version-agnostic, and so am using late binding. The formatting of the contents of the Excel cell, such as color, underline, strike-through, needs to be preserved. My approach is to use a Word doc as a template. It has a table at the top which I can copy to the end of the doc, add rows as needed, and fill in the word table cells with the data from the excel spreadsheet. Unfortunately, all the formatting disappears. All I get is the text itself.

how to get the DataGridView CellMouseDoubleClick to fire when a user double clicks on a DGV cell.I currently have both DGV.CellMouseClick & DGV.CellMouseDoubleClick implimented in my code.The DGV.CellMouseDoubleClick never fires and the DGV.CellMouseClick always fires. The only exception is when I position the cursor between DGV cells and get the double arrow. If I double click with the double arrow then I get the DGV.CellMouseDoubleClick to fire.I need to take different actions for users RT-Click, RT-Dbl-Click, LT-Click and LT-Dbl-Click.

View 1 RepliesHaving created a small (Excel Automation) VB Appl. to manipulate and present data from Excel sheets in an organised form, I ran across a problem resulting from creating a named range on a sheet, the code line:
oWB.Names.Add("DR_AppData2", RefersToR1C1:="=OFFSET(AppData!R3C1,0,0,(COUNTA(AppData!C1)-2),1)")
seems to work as expected, my only issue here is that this was written on a System that is US-en, and when trying this on a PC DE-de - we have users with varoius language sets - the code fails with a COMException. The only cure I have found to date, is to write the German language version of this:
oWB.Names.Add("DR_AppData2", RefersToR1C1:=BEREICH.VERSCHIEBEN(AppData!R3C1;0;0;(ANZAHL2(AppData!C1-2);1)
How can I write my code / what tools do I need to use, in order that my application will work with any Excel language - and me not having to know all possible equivalents for a particular command or function?

I am trying to read excel data (Excel 2007 SP1, on Windows XP SP3) with visual basic .net 2008 (VB 9.0 SP1). I have tried several attempts and whatever I do I am getting the following error message: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled ErrorCode=-2147319784 Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018 (TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))" Source="Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" Message="Altes Format oder ungültige Typbibliothek." Translated: Old format or unknown type libraryI have added the reference "Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library" to my project. I am assuming that I might have to add a different or an additional reference, but I do not have any clue which one to use. List of things I have already done:- Searched other forums- Altered the language settings- Tried it on an other Computer (Win XP SP3, Excel 2007, Visual Basic 2008 Express)- Ran the diagnostics tool in Excel - Updated all updates etc...- Reinstalled Visual BasicI really do not have any clue why it should not work?
