excel 2000 and c# .net
 

I've been searching the net/forums and can't find a good answer to thi
question - how possible/easy is it to interact between excel 2k and c
.net? I want to write a component in c# to pull data off a server, an
make this available to an excel module for data analysis, but I'm stuc
with excel 2k so I can't use VSTO.

is this possible? I believe it is, since you can build a com wrappe
around a .net component, but I have no experience with com stuff so
have no idea if/how that would complicate things. I'd look into th
possibility of doing it all in VBA, except I'm not sure it has th
power the .net classes offer, and I much prefer c-style syntax :P

I found a couple helpful posts on this forum and articles at othe
sites, but nothing that addresses exactly what I'm thinking of. an
pointers to other posts/articles would be much appreciated. thanks fo
any suggestions in going forward with this :cool

ok, update: I can now create a com class library in c#, and add
reference to it from VBA. but looking in the object browser, I don'
see any of my class methods available - anyone here know how to expos
the methods to vba
