Peter,

Rather than use the root of C: (which is locked down under group policy) I'm
trying to use the Isolated Storage directory hive. However, although I can
create the file I can't get a fully resolved path to it!! Any ideas?

Hi

We can add the excel file(e.g. xls) into the project, and in the properties
to change the build action into embedded resources, so that the xls file
will be compiled into the assebmly.

And then we can use he code below to retrieve the xls file and write to
disk for use.

string[] names=Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestR esourceNames();
System.IO.Stream sm =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourc eStream(names[0]);
byte[] bts = new byte[sm.Length];
FileStream fs =new );
sm.Position = 0;
int i = (int)sm.Read(bts,0,(int)sm.Length);
fs.Write(bts,0,i);
fs.Close();
sm.Close();

Best regards,
