Unable to start excel from .NET C#

[Krish]

This is my first attempt, please bear.

I referenced Excel 10.0 Object from VS .NET IDE, I think this creates
Interop Object for Excel.

I have the following code.

------code start----

using System;
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;
using Excel;

namespace ConsoleApplicat ion3
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//
Excel.Applicati on app = new Excel.Applicati onClass();
app.Visible = true;

}
}
}

---code end----

When the start the code I get the following error messages, the build
is OK though.

DefaultDomain': Loaded
'c:\winnt\micro soft.net\framew ork\v1.0.3705\m scorlib.dll', No symbols
loaded.
'ConsoleApplica tion3': Loaded 'C:\Documents and
Settings\Admini strator\My Documents\Visua l Studio
Projects\Consol eApplication3\b in\Debug\Consol eApplication3.e xe',
Symbols loaded.
'ConsoleApplica tion3.exe': Loaded 'c:\documents and
settings\admini strator\my documents\visua l studio
projects\consol eapplication3\b in\debug\intero p.excel.dll', No symbols
loaded.
The program '[2604] ConsoleApplicat ion3.exe' has exited with code 0
(0x0).

----

I would really like to know what is going on, Excel is not
instantiated .!

Any help appreciated.

Hi Krish,

Just to confirm, do you not see Excel coming up at all,
or does it quickly start up and shutdown the moment
your console app exits. Try inserting a Console.ReadLin e()
soon after you create an instance of Excel.Applicati on.

Excel.Applicati on excelApp = new Excel.Applicati on();
excelApp.Visibl e = true;
Console.WriteLi ne("Excel up and running now. Press any key to close Excel");
Console.ReadLin e();
excelApp.Quit() ;
Regards,
Aravind C

Thanks Aravind, I did notice that the console.readlin e causes
the cmd window to stay there.

What are the error messages that I included at the bottom of the
message, that say no symbols loaded, is this just a message from the
debugger.

Also when you look at the object browser, you see Excel {} the curly
braces does it mean namespace.

Thanks for your help.
