Use Excel files

[Maileen]

Hi,

I'm new to VB.NET and i have a little trouble with a small task
regarding use of Excel files.

My VB application should be able to open an Excel file, extract some
data, create another Excel file, create inside this new Excel file some
table and write extracted data there.

Nothing special...
However, i'm not able to use Excel library in my application.
I open Project -> Add reference -> Com -> Microsoft Excel 11.0 ...
(version 2003).

but when i use a simple example delivered with MSDN Library, it doesn't
work.

Does somebody have a working example just for me, to know if i include
well the library and to see the first steps of using this library command ?

thanks a lot,
Maileen

What is the error message?

Do you have Primary Interop Assemblies for Office XP installed?

Yes i did and everything is ok.

here is my code :

Dim xlApp As Excel.Applicati on
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

xlApp = CType(CreateObj ect("Excel.Appl ication"), Excel.Applicati on)
xlBook = CType(xlApp.Wor kbooks.Add, Excel.Workbook)
xlSheet = CType(xlBook.Wo rksheets(1), Excel.Worksheet )
' Place some text in the second row of the sheet.
xlSheet.Cells(2 , 2) = "This is column B row 2"
' Show the sheet.
xlSheet.Applica tion.Visible = True
' Save the sheet to C:\Test.xls directory.
xlSheet.SaveAs( "C:\Test.xl s")
' Optionally, you can call xlApp.Quit to close the work sheet.

this code is from MSDN help shipped with VS.NET 2003.

and i have as error message :
Audit_HWSW\Main .vb(138): Type 'Excel.Applicat ion' is not defined.

why ?
thx

On my workstation I have 'Excel 2002 sp3' and my choice of component after installing the Office XP PIAs are (in the ADD ref / Com dialog):
1) Microsoft Excel 10.0 Object Library:

This will add 2 references: - Excel
- Microsoft.Offic e.Core

I must then use in code:

Dim X as Microsoft.Offic e.Interop.Excel .ApplicationCla ss

2) Microsoft Excel 5.0 Object Library:

This will add 1 reference: - Excel

I must then use in code:

Dim X as Excel.Applicati on
