Paste bitmap to Excel
 

When the following function is run by a Windows program it works just fine.
When it is run from an ASP.NET page the xlWorkSheet.PasteSpecial line
generates: "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC."

The page is set up with the aspcompat="true" page directive to avoid an
exception about the lack of a Single threaded apartment.
It is also run with impersonation to the same user that runs the Windows
executable.

Any ideas, or other ways to get a bitmap into the sheet?
