Hello,
I've been trying to spin off an Excel worksheet on the client from an
ASP.NET website. I was successfull in displaying an Excel worksheet on
the client in a test website (not using IIS, but using Visual Studio
2005) with the following code:
protected void Button1_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
Application exc = new Application();
exc.Visible = true;
Workbooks workbooks = exc.Workbooks;
_Workbook workbook = workbooks.Add(X lWBATemplate.xl WBATWorksheet);
Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Workshee t)workbook.Acti veSheet;
}
This code spins off a blank Excel worksheet.
However when I place this code into another ASP.NET website that I'm
developing, I find that I can't set exc.Visible = true! The Excel
worksheet doesn't display at all. The only difference is that the new
ASP.NET website is run off of IIS and the test website is run off the
local Visual Studio 2005.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

You're trying to use server-side Office automation - this doesn't work: http://support.microsoft.com/default...US;q257757#kb2
Fortunately, there are several other options, depending on what you're
trying to do. Can you please tell us your requirements, and also maybe
explain what you mean by "spin off" an Excel worksheet...?

Office automation bits are not designed to work in web applications. If you
want to pop things up as Excel, you have three options I can think of
1. Create a page with an HTML table and change the MIME type to Excel. Poor
man's way
2. Use a third party component to create the excel spreadsheet as a file
(this can be streamed or saved and linked)
3. Use the office components to do the same as #2
I do not recommend #3. And, #1 is only useful for simple spreadsheets (data
reports, for example). There are various office writer type components that
are much lighter than the office bits, so I would use #2 to create files.

I need to use an Excel Sheet in ASP.NET application so that the users can

links are there do tell those to me too coz I have no idea how to go about

Hi All,
I posted this message few days ago. No one has answered so far.
I just would like to know if it is possible to do or not.
Even if you can not tell me how to do this, maybe you know which library I
need to use in order to access excel information from a VB.NET code.
For example, I would be interested by knowing how to access a simple cell
value in an excel file from a vb.net code.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
