OLE Automation Question

What is the technology that replaces OLE Automation in .NET? Please.
Sorry, I couldn't find it.

Also, I wanted to know if I have a program, any executable, can I
"automate" it from .net, c#, etc.? Not sure how to ask this, but say I
have an image manipulation program not made by Microsoft, but I want to
use it in my C# program (and assume it doesn't violate anything), can I
do this in .net. Thanks for any advice.

You can just add a reference to the application and Visual Studio will
handle creating a Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) for you, or use Tlbimp.exe
to import a type library by creating a PIA, or you can get a PIA from the
creator of the application.

Check MSDN for those terms and for InteropServices . That should set you on
the right track.

Only if the application exposes its object model (automation). If you could
do it before .net using VB/VC++ etc, you can do it in .Net as well (using
interop). There are several examples of office automation in .net.

Hi. I've seen several KBs on using .NET for MS Office Automation. But I have a particular question: I am developing a somewhat stand-alone .ASPX page which will need to do some relatively simple MS Office Automation (Office 2003+). The .ASPX page is not part of a Web Forms Visual Studio project. It's just a stand-alone file. And therefore, there is not "References" setting or anything because there's no Visual Studio project.

Hope you can help. I have created a mail merge word doc which seems to work fine. When I close and reload it asks if I wish to pull in the data. Great. However, I want to print the results of the mail merge from within a VB.Net app. I can create and load the word app/doc, but the document is not opened as a mail merge doc. In fact the mail merge fields just appear as text. Any ideas please, or alternative was to do this.

Hello there, I have some doubts about the best practice for using COM automation, the Runtime Callable Wrapper (RCW) and Marshal.ReleaseComObject. So the question is/are: Do I need to release each COM object explicit by a call to Marshal.ReleaseComObject, does the RCW take care of that or does it leaks unmanaged resources?
