Office dependencies - C# / C Sharp

Frank Rizzo

I've been given an app to deal with that has a dependency on Excel XP (I
think it was also known as Excel 2002). I have Office 2003 installed on
my box. The application does not compile (complains of a missing
assembly). Basically it complains about the following:

Error: The dependency 'Interop.Micros oft.Office.Core , Version=2.3.0.0 ,
Culture=neutral ' in project 'Lan.Mers.Proce ssor' cannot be copied to the
run directory because it would conflict with dependency
'Interop.Micros oft.Office.Core , Version=2.2.0.0 , Culture=neutral '.

What can I do to make it compile without having to uninstall office 2003
and installing office xp? Removing the dependency on excel is not on
the table (believe me, i asked).

Try the following:

1. Open solution explorer and expand the References tab. You may see an item
appearing with a yellow exclamation mark. This is an item needing attention.
Remove the reference to Excel.
2. Close the project and re-open it.
3. In solution explorer right click on References and select Add Reference.
4. In the Add Reference form select COM and scroll down to Microsoft Excel
5.0 Object Library. Select it and click OK.
5. Try building your project. If it fails then you may need to look at the
using statements or code statements using the Interop as I have seen
differences between name spaces used (even on the same version of Office).

You should be able if the code is constructed correctly to allow your
application to work with both versions of Excel. I've a VS 2005 project
which quite happily automates versions of Word from 2000 through to 2003.

Help setting project dependencies -- why is everything grey?

by: JT Lovell | last post by:

I have a solution with 5 projects and I need them to build in a particular order. I understand that setting the project dependencies will allow this, but when I go to the Project Dependencies dialog, the "Depends on" checkboxes are grayed out. Is there something else required in order to enable these? Thanks, -- JT Lovell

ISSUE (reposted) =========================== Can someone please explain to me why I can't get the MS Word Interop assembly to work in my VS2005 project? For many people, they say they add the reference and it works, however when I add the reference the application can't find it. Not sure why it says the system cannot find the file when it exists in that location? Please help, thanks in advance... GOAL ===========================

Circular Dependencies Between Libraries

by: barias | last post by:

Although circular dependencies are something developers should normally avoid, unfortunately they are very easy to create accidentally between classes in a VS project (i.e. circular compile-time dependencies). But then I started wondering how "easy" it would be to similarly make a NON-RUNTIME circular dependency between (implicitly linked) DLLs. Indeed authors like John Lakos, who focus on compile/link-time dependencies (not run-time),...

Recursively including all dependencies of an element

I found myself needing to find my way recursively through a document in XSLT, finding the dependencies one element had on others, and including only those in an initial set, their dependencies, the dependencies of those dependencies and so on. I managed to do it, but I'm not really happy with the method, and I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something better. My technique involves manipulating a string containing the names, calling a...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
