View 2 RepliesI am using Excel 2007, VS2008 Pro.I am building a VSTO Add-in that requires "drag and drop from Excel cells to a drag-enabled task pane".So far I notice that I can only drag and drop within the cells themselves. It does not allow me to drop into the task Pane or drag past the sheet limits.(http:)[url]...
Note: The task pane has drag drop enabled, I ahve already tested I can drag/drop from task pane to excel but I need to do this the other way around?
As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.
I am trying to copy from a DataGridView and paste into a new Outlook email. Everything is working fine, but I was wondering if there was a way to include the gridlines from the DataGridView when copying? Right now, I'm pasting the data from the DataGridView using the dgv.GetText property. It is pasting the copied text, but is not lined up at all.
View 3 RepliesHow do I do the following with an MSChart?Set axes to x: [0 - 1000] and y: [0 - 1].Show the gridlines when chart has no points.Disable auto adjusting of gridlines.
Note: Setting Axis(X/Y).(Min/Max)imum seems to have no effect if a point exists inside the bounds.

View 9 RepliesBy default, the background of a DataGridView is a solid color. The gridlines stop at the end of the grid of actual data leaving an ugly void in the remaining space of the DataGridView. A perfect example of what I want is the gridlines viewed in Microsoft Excel.How can I continue the gridlines past the datagrid itself to fill the DataGridView?
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to change the color of the listview gridlines (black would be nice)? I have Gridlines = True, but the color is so faint that they cannot be seen (for example on Win XP with the default Blue theme). You can only see them on a highlighted item. (If I change the backcolor of the LV to a funky color, I can see them, but I want to keep the default color of "Window" (white when Win XP default them is used).

I brought up a new project in Visual Studio 2010 and found that there are no gridlines on the form. I went to Tools, Options, Windows Form Designer, General and found the Show Gridlines option set to True. I tried turning it to false and back to true with no change.
View 2 RepliesHow do I change the number of gridlines a chart displays? My chart data runs from 00:00 to 23:59 but due to the auto scaling I get gridlines and labels at funny time e.g 05:37 or 10:23. What I'd like is a label and line every hour but I can't find which property sets it!
View 2 RepliesI am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet.If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown.A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.[code]I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.

I'm trying to upgrade a VB6 app to VB 2008. I have read the article in the tutors corner about automating Excel from VB but I cannot get it to work. Heres what I have done:
1) set a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
2) Added "Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" to the top of the module
3) in a routine I have added: Dim X As New Excel.Application Here's where I get an error: Error 75 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.
I'm working with vb.net 2008. My application generates 1 excel file (with login details etc). The application will store user results for various sections into csv files.

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

I have a project that has a need to display a Excel file in second window, but because other controls are needed, simply launching excel is not sufficient. Right now I do not know if the target machines have excel installed but I know with certainty that if they do it would be 2010, is there any method or library that allows you frame your own form around an excel window?
View 1 RepliesI have an application the contains several excel files bundled with it. I'm not opening the files and processing them within my application. These files contain a data-connection to reload all of the pivot-tables within each excel file. I have a 'link' on my form, that when clicked, it determines which file to open and calls a sub using filename and executing Process.Start(filename) for any excel file I want to open. I have no problems opening any one of the files and then exiting excel.
The problem is when I 'close' a file, but don't exit Excel; then try to open another file(clicking link on form)... it creates a new instance of Excel.
I know from experimenting that the fileopendialog form will 'reuse' an existing Excel instance, IF it does not already have a file open.
How can I do the same thing without using the fileopendialog?
I don't want the end-user to have access to the folders where these files live. That's why I have multiple 'links' on my form, one for each xls that already exists. I just want them to be able to click on a link and the xls file opens AND if they choose to merely 'close' a file and not exit... Don't create a new instance of Excel, but re-use the existing one.
I took oledbconnection with excel file, after disposing this connection i m still unable to open that excel manually,It shows some access error.

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:
