I am making a Windows EXE (.NET Visual Basic Windows Application).
I would like to make it possible to open Excel Worksheets from my EXE.
This should work independent of Excel version on client machine (it is out
of my control to know what versions of Excel different users has.)
Anyway let us say that Excel 2000 is the oldest acceptable version.
I build the EXE on a PC with Excel 2000. But I it is not working on an Excel
2003 machine!
On my development machine I have "Microsoft Excel 2000 (9.0.6926 SP-3)".
when I do "Add Reference"/"COM", in Visual Studio, a reference is done to
"Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library".
When I run the executable on this machine it works perfectly.
But when I try to run it on another development machine with "Microsoft
Office Excel 2003 (11.6355.6360) SP1" i get error message:
System.MissingM ethodException: Method not found: Excel.Workbook
Excel.Workbooks .Open(System.St ring, System.Object, System.Object,
System.Object, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object,
System.Object, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object, System.Object).
Following information is not a part of the problem description, but anyway...
IF I instead build the solution on my "Excel 2003"-development machine, then
of course excel automation is working on this machine.
A reference to "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library", is then done.
Any hint is appreciated!
Best regards,
Benjamin

At this point, there is still an EXCEL.EXE in processes and the specified workbook cannot be saved until that process is ended from...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
