In my textboxes I see values (1,2 and 3).If I change tht values to let's say 5, 6 and 7,(txt_1.value=5......) and then I open my c# application,read the data fr om my textboxes which are in Group 9901 int i = 0; 02 foreach (Excel.Shape shp in xlWorkSheet.Shapes.Item("Gro up 99").GroupItems) 03 { 04 05 Excel.OLEObject excelOleObject1 = (Excel.OLEObject)s

So far everything is great.Next what I do is just releasing my objects1 releaseObject(xlWorkBook); 2 releaseObject(xlWorkSheet); 3 releaseObject(xlApp); I didnt save and close my woorkbook cuz I need to do tht manually in Excel.Now the weird part: So I switch to my Excel file, and what I see in my textboxes are old values,txt _1.text=1,txt_2.text=2,txt_3.text=3(instead txt_1.text=5....(6,7)). After I select one of my three textboxes, a real value is come back,but when i click somewhere else again fake value pop up again.This fake values are only dis played,they dont exist,cuz if i do something with this textboxes like Msg(txt_1. text) i will get a real value(5 in this case).Also If i call my c# application a gain my c# textboxes contains a real values(5,6,7).So fake values in excel are d isplayed but textboes contains a real value. After I use debug i find out tht this happens after this :1 WorkBook); 2 releaseObject(xlWorkSheet); 3 releaseObject(xlApp); releaseObject(xl

Answer 2 I would guess: open Excel from your program, and have Excel read the data. Search for Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) for the details. Answer 3 His Doss, Create a reference in your project to excel Objects Library. The exc el object library can be added in the COM tab of adding reference dialog. I hope the following code in your menu click event method will help you a lot to achi eve your need. this.openFileDialog1.FileName = "*.xls"; if (this.openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Excel.Workbook theWorkbook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open( openFileDialog1.FileName, 0, true, 5, "", "", true, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", false, false, 0, true); Excel.Sheets sheets = theWorkbook.Worksheets; Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1); for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { Excel.Range range = worksheet.get_Range("A"+i.ToString(), "J" + i.ToString( )); System.Array myvalues = (System.Array)range.Cells.Value; string[] strArray = ConvertToStringArray(myvalues); } } Cheers,

Daya Anand, PSPIndia Answer 4 If you are using a dynamically generated excel file then you can use the follow ing:

Answer 5 If you don't want to use the Excel COM objects, you can use OleDb. It takes a li ttle setup in your Excel document. Basically, you need to define "named objects" in Excel that are synonymous to tables in a database. The first row of the name d object are the column headers. To set up a named object, first select the rang e of cells (your "table," with the first row being the column headers), then go to menu Insert->Names->Define. Name your object and press "Add." Now you have an object which can be read by ADO.NET. Now for the C# (this example assumes I have an Excel file at C:\Book1.xls and a named object in this workbook called "MyObject"): using System.Data; using System.Data.OleDb; ... OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Dat a Source=C:\Book1.xls;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"); OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from MyObject", con); DataTable dt = new DataTable(); da.Fill(dt);

You can use SQL to query the data in your named object. Answer 6

When I try to do this, I keep getting "Old format or invalid type library" I added "Microsoft excel 10.0" as reference and use the following code Excel.ApplicationClass excel = new Excel.ApplicationClass(); Excel.Workbook workbook = excl.Workbooks.Open(openFileDialog.FileName.toString() , null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null, null). I also don't know what all these parameters should be. Answer 7 I just started working on an application which performs this action. Feel free t o use the following code. //Start up excel to read the excel file in question Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application ExcelObj = null;ExcelObj = new Micros oft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application(); if (ExcelObj == null) { MessageBox.Show("ERROR: EXCEL couldn't be started!"); System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit(); } Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook theWorkbook = ExcelObj.Workbooks.Open(op enFileDialog.FileName, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Sheets sheets = theWorkbook.Worksheets; Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.E xcel.Worksheet)sheets.get_Item(1); for(int x = 1; x <= 29; x++) { Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range range = worksheet.get_Range("A"+x.ToString( ), "I" + x.ToString()); System.Array myvalues = (System.Array)range.Cells.get_Value(range.); string[] strArray = ConvertToStringArray(myvalues); } Sorry about the bad formatting, I don't know how to use this forum that well yet . Answer 8 Hellow, I'used these things a couple of months ago for an application I made. While tryi ng to adapt the application now I cannot open the excel file anymore. Does anyb ody hase any notice of changes in the Excel object? public ExcelDB() { try { excel.Open(Application.StartupPath+"\\MAILING.XLS");

excel.Range(); string file = Application.StartupPath+"\\MAILING.XLS"; sbConn.Append(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="+file); sbConn.Append(";Extended Properties="); sbConn.Append(Convert.ToChar(34)); sbConn.Append("Excel 8.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2"); sbConn.Append(Convert.ToChar(34)); cnExcel = new OleDbConnection(sbConn.ToString()); cmdExcel = new OleDbCommand("Select * From Clientlist",cnExcel); } catch { MessageBox.Show("Ernstige fout, klantenbestand niet gevonden!","Error 03",System .Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK,System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Stop); } } public void FillList() { try { Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; cnExcel.Open(); drExcel = cmdExcel.ExecuteReader(); while(drExcel.Read()) { if(drExcel["Name"].ToString() != "") { LogicControl.form.clientList.Items.Add(drExcel["Name"].ToString()); string[] listArray = {drExcel["Name"].ToString(), drExcel["Address"].ToString(), drExcel["City"].ToString(), drExcel["Phone"].ToString(), drExcel["Fax"].ToString(), drExcel["VAT"].ToString() }; lvi = new ListViewItem(listArray); LogicControl.form.klantenList.Items.Add(lvi); } } drExcel.Close(); cnExcel.Close(); Cursor.Current = Cursors.Arrow; } catch { excel.Quit(); MessageBox.Show("Ernstige fout, foutief klantenbestand!","Error 05",System.Windo ws.Forms.MessageBoxButtons.OK,System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon.Stop); } } Answer 9 Hello There I'm Using the Same Way but i'm Facing a problem and i hope to find a solution he re objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(MapPath("\" & MyFilePath ))

objWorkbook.Unprotect() objSheets = objWorkbook.Sheets() objRange = objSheets.Application.Cells and i tried to add a row using these tow lines once for the first and the second time i used the second one .. 'objSheets.Application.Cells.Insert(Excel.XlDirection.xlDown, 1) 'objRange.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown) but a new EXCEPTION appear which says "To prevent possible loss of data, Microsoft Office Excel cannot shift nonblank cells off the worksheet. Try to locate the last nonblank cell by pressing CTRL+END, and delete or clear a ll in cells between the last cell and the end of your data. Then select cell A1 and save your workbook to reset the last cell used. Or, you can move the data to a new location and try again." Any one Know how to solve this ? Please note i'm using a predisigned Excel "Formatted File " Answer 10 I have the same problem, and I'm not using code. I insert one line, and it does fine. When I insert a second line, I get the same message you listed in a modal box ("To prevent possible loss of data, microsoft Office Excel cannot shift no nblank cells off the worksheet."). If I save the file, I can then insert the add itional line, but then I get the same message again when I try to insert another line. My sheet is large, but not that large; the last line is around 60k, leavi ng several thousand empty lines. Looks like Excel is trying to be too smart, and messing up in the process. I hav e Excel 2003 (with all updates), so it's not something a newer version would fix . Maybe an older version will fix it... There are no references to the message, that I could find, in Excel documentatio n or the KB. Answer 11 Found a reference, worded slightly differently so it wasn't in the original sear ch results. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305568) You probably have formatting the entire length of a column/row, such as a cell b order. If you go to the edge of the used area, select the rest of the sheet, and remove the border, you should eliminate the problem. It's an instant problem caused by selecting a row/column and adding an edge bord er to it - after that point, you can't insert additional rows more that one at a time.

Microsoft - Please fix the problem. Excel sees this formatting as content, but i t is not. (Excel even adds the border back if the row is deleted!) Answer 12 Hi There, I also facing the same problem but it bit of different . I wanted to read the data in Excel Sheet Eg: If Data is there for columns A,B,C,D .. wanted to read the data 'A' and 'B' 'A' and 'C' after that I wanted to generate the Charts .. any suggestions or solutions. Thanks-Aparna Answer 13 can any body give any solution for the above query please Thanks-Aparna Answer 14 "To prevent possible loss of data, Microsoft Office excel cannot shift nonblank cells off the worksheet. Try to locate the last nonblank cell by pressing CTRL+END, and delete or clear all in cells between the last cell and the end of your data. Then select cell A1 and save your workbook to reset the last cell used. Or, you can move the data to a new location and try again." This usually happens when Excel thinks that there is information in the very last row. If you hit Ctrl+End, you may find that it shoots all the way down to row 65536 or something like that. Clear the contents of that entire row or delete it altogether. You may need to be persistent (this is an Office application, after all). I had a user with this issue earlier today and I had to clear each cell one at a time and save the document before it would take effect. Once excel stops believing that there is something in the last rows, you'll be able to insert rows wherever you need. Answer 15 I ran into this same issue with VB. Here's what worked for me (from here): Dim mySelection As Excel.Range mySelection = ThisApplication.Selection() mySelection.EntireRow.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown)

Answer 16 Hi, I have some what a strange requirement. Rather than reading the data from a sh eet or a range in excel, i need to get the information regarding named range an d based on that i need to filter the data further. For eg: if the range A1: C5 i s mapped to a named range as "Amount", i need to get the absolute range informa tion which is A1:C5 by passing the range "Amount". Is there any way of achieving this programmatically? Currently I am using oledb for reading the data. Thanks Jency Answer 17 It isnt that tough Simply create an object of workbook and worksheet Specifying the cells(rowindex, columnindex) you can easily bank out the values Amrit Answer 18 How can I reference columns in the excel spread sheet to use in an ORDER BY sta tement or in a WHERE clause? The code below is what I'm using to read from the Excel spreadsheet and it wor ks fine. I just need to sort the spread sheet. The spreadsheet doesn't have any headers DataTable dtExcel = objConn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGui d.Tables, newobject[] { null, null, null, "TABLE" }); string SpreadSheetName = "[" + dtExcel.Rows[0]["TABLE_NAME"].ToString() + "]"; DataSet dsExcel = newDataSet(); objCommand.CommandText = @"SELECT * FROM " + SpreadSheetName; Answer 19 The only problem here is that you're missing the ConvertToStringArray(myvalues); method. string[] ConvertToStringArray(System.Array values) { // create a new string array string[] theArray = newstring[values.Length]; // loop through the 2-D System.Array and populate the 1-D String Array for (int i = 1; i <= values.Length; i++)

{ if (values.GetValue(1, i) == null) theArray[i-1] = ""; else theArray[i-1] = (string)values.GetValue(1, i).ToString(); } return theArray; }

Answer 20 That's okay... you need to replace the null parameters with System.Reflection.Missing.Value in your "using" statement include System.Reflection. You might only need to add this statement once... I've had it work that way, but also have had to use it fo r all parameters... not sure what the difference is... I'm trying to get this fi gure out too. What I'm trying to do is pull out one row at a time from an excel sheet and get the file path from a hyperlink value.

Is there any oth er way to do this or anywhere I can get that reference thing? thx Answer 38 Does anybody know to figure out what range of data was used for a chart object?

I like this bit of code posted earlier because it is easy to use: Range myRange = (Range) sheets.Cells[30,10]; currentRate = (float)Convert.ToDouble(myRange.Cells.Value2.ToString()); myRange = (Range)sheets.Cells[30, 2];

So, my plan is to figure out which cells were used to create a particular chart - i.e. which cells are the x-axis and which cells are the y-axis. Then just loo p through and grab the values to an array.

Any thought would be great...

Answer 54 Thanx for ur help. theres another problem i m facing with my application. i have 5 columns in my excel file out of which 2 are date columns.User enters d ate in these columns.In my application i m trying to upload files i got from my client. whats happening is when i keep the excel file open and try to upload the file t he date time columns are treated as some numbers (e.g 39044) instead of showing them as date.(this is as seen in the datatable i use to get excel data.i used a breakpoint to see this data).But if i upload the same file with excel file close d i can see the date column as dates in the datatable ! ! ! Why is this ? So, to find a solution i right clicked on the cell in excel and chose cell forma ts,in the general tab the date is shown as a number(e.g 39044 ) and not a date . in some of the other files i received from my client i saw the date as date (e.g 15/12/2009) and these files were uploaded into the datatable as dates even if t he excel file is closed or open. What exactly is the problem and solution to this ? Answer 55 YOR CODE HERE DOESNT WORK IF MY FILE SHEET NAME HERE HAS $ _FileName = _FileName.Replace("$", ""); Answer 56 IN IT.
