Excel Add-in not showing up

Joe
I created a C# Add-in by going through the wizard, building the project and
testing it. Everything works fine. I start writing some code to do something
when a button is clicked, built and tested it - still works.
Make some more changes and now nothing. It doesn't show up any more.

The only way I was able to get it to show up was to run the setup project
that was created as part of the Add-in wizard setup for the project.

The first time the problem occurred was when I tried debugging the project
by setting the Start-up app to Excel. That threw an exception so I didn't
test it that way again. I was still able to test it from within Excel for a
couple of more build until it just stopped working.

Now nothing works. I have no way of running or debugging the Add-In.

Any suggestions?

In Excel - Click Help, About and click the button for disabled items.

Did you just have to do this once or do you have to do this regularly.
If this is a continuing issue you may not have the problem solved.

Hello, Below is my code for exporting a datagrid to Excel. It works fine, but we're going to need to somehow have a report header, user input parameters and system date display at the top of the spreadsheet just to make it look like a nice little report. Is there a way that this can be done? Thanks! John Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have struggled with this problem and the solution is that you have to declare a variable for each and every object or collection within the Excel application that you want to use: For example: Dim oExcel As Excel.Application = New Excel.Application Dim lWorkBooks As Excel.Workbooks = oExcel.Workbooks Dim lWorkBook As Excel.Workbook = lWorkBooks.Add() Dim lWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet = oExcel.ActiveSheet

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
