calling Excel Macro from C#

[=?Utf-8?B?Vmlua2k=?=]

Hello Everyone,

I exported a gridview to excel spreadsheet. I want to adjust the column
width of the excel spreadsheet.
Is it possible to create Excel macro from C# to adjust the column width of
the spreadsheet. Below is my code for exporting to excel

string attachment = "attachment; filename=Contacts.xls";
Response.ClearContent();

Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", attachment);
Response.ContentType = "application/ms-excel";
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw);
HtmlForm frm = new HtmlForm();

dgAgentActivity.Parent.Controls.Add(frm);
frm.Attributes["runat"] = "server";
frm.Controls.Add(dgAgentActivity);
frm.RenderControl(htw);

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You can use the Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies. These allow
you to add a references which gives you access to COM components and let you
do just about anything with an office application.

Look up http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...57(VS.80).aspx

Here you should find out which reference to add, and information about
classes and methods.

No, it's not possible using your technique. You are better off trying an
Interop approach or using the OWC.
