Excel 11 Type library for VB.NET?
 

Dear Friends,

I'm developing a VB.NET 2005 project in windows VISTA.

I add reference to Excel 11 (2003) type library.

My reference seems to be made to Excel.exe and declaration appears as below:

Dim myExcel As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application

but it returns exception when I try to cast excel into it as below:

myExcel = GetObject(, "Excel.Application") or myExcel = GetObject(,
"Excel.Application.11")


If I change my delaration to

Dim myExcel As Object

everything goes well for a while but I cannot access most of Excel object
library's properties (such as Activeworksheet.cells(2,2).value) which were
all visible to me in VB6.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Excel 11 Type library for VB.NET?
 

Hi,

Try something like this. It will create a new workbook and save it in the
root of drive C:.

Dim myExcel As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim wb As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook

wb = myExcel.Workbooks.Add()
wb.SaveAs("C:\test.xls")
wb.Close()
myExcel.Quit()

Hope that helps.
