New Post: Cannot create ActiveX component.

You need have MS Office installed. This are only wrapper assemblies, the core functionality is in native COM libraries.

@jespelind: Please try download older version of sourcecode (related to date of binaries, you were used). However I can't recomend using MS Office automatition on webservers. There are severals problems (lacking instances of MS Office applications) which must be workarounded (sometimes helps only killing the process).

@nick_vanaxel: Yes, the MS Office application is required. This library is only .NET wrapper around COM libraries.

I tried using this wrapper in a shared hosting solution with ASP.NET but getting: [SecurityException: That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers.]

I then downloaded the source to recompile on my machine, but the Word project seems to be lacking some of the methods that exists in the compiled dlls. There are fo exampel no CreateApplication() and no Documents.Open with one parameter.

Am I misunderstadning something or havn't you uploaded the latest source code?

I am getting the same error "Cannot create ActiveX component." I am running the sample code in a console app.

The code runs fine in Windows XP desktop , but does not run in Windows 2003 server.

Does this need excel to be installed on the machine where the app runs?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using MSExcel = TcKs.MSOffice.Excel;
using System.IO;

namespace TestMSOfficeWrapper
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");

                System.Console.WriteLine("Before creating Application obj");
                using (MSExcel.Application app = MSExcel.Application.CreateApplication())
// FAILS HERE. CANNOT CREATE THE APPLICATION OBJECT.
 {
                    System.Console.WriteLine("Before getting path");
                    string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
                    System.Console.WriteLine(Path.Combine(path,"fxdprice.xls"));
                    MSExcel.Workbook book = app.Workbooks.Open( Path.Combine(path,"fxdprice.xls"));
                    MSExcel.Worksheet sheet = (MSExcel.Worksheet)book.Worksheets[2];
                    MSExcel.Range range_A1 = sheet.GetRange("F30");
                    MSExcel.Range range_B2 = sheet.GetRange("F36");

                    string message = "In cell 'F30' is '{0}' and in cell 'F36' is '{1}'.";
                    message = string.Format(message, range_A1.Value2, range_B2.Value2);

                    System.Console.WriteLine(message);
                }

                TcKs.MSOffice.Common.WrapperHelper.GCCollect();
                Console.ReadLine();

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

Any inputs/ pointers are greately appreciated.

Thanks,

New Post: Is printing support implemented?

schrepfler — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:31:53 GMT

Hi, as by topic, is direct printing supported? It would seem that the current release doesn't implement it yet in the latest source code I saw some print methods? Thanks Srgjan

New Post: Create excel worksheet

tencokacistromy — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:09:05 GMT

There are no built-in function for import/export with datareader.

You must load data from SQL server by your self, then create(or use existing) worsheet and set the "Values" property of the cells.

citizensteele — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:43:17 GMT

I need help creating an excel worksheet with data from a datareader. Are there any examples on how I would go about doing this? My goal is exporting data from multiple tables (SQL server) into an excel document each table having its own worksheet. Im a bit lost of how to do it with this wrapper..

Infarkt — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 23:21:24 GMT

Hi,

i think this is "almost" perfect solution for dealing with office.

When the wrapper gives me Outlook.Contacts and Appointments i will say it is PERFECT.

Thanks

Commonly is not good idea using office applications in web applications.

Basically - the MS Office design is good for one-user scenarios with ability to use UI. In the webserver is better way using third party components for reading/writing office documents or use a open format ( *.docx , *.xlsx , etc ... ).

             Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MAPIFolder objFolder = NS.GetDefaultFolder(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);
             Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem objMail;
             Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Items oItems = objFolder.Items;

                if (app.ActiveExplorer() != null && app.ActiveInspector() != null)
                {
                    for (int i = 1; i <= app.ActiveExplorer().Selection.Count; i++)
                    {

                       objMail = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)app.ActiveExplorer().Selection[i];

                        MessageBox.Show("Subject : " + objMail.Subject.ToString());

                    }
                }
}

tencokacistromy — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:02:59 GMT

You can use a constructor of "TcKs.Office.Outlook.Application" class.

In C#:
TcKs.Office.Outlook.Application app = new TcKs.Office.Outlook.Application( comObjectOfOutlookApplication );

In VB.NET:
Dim app As New TcKs.Office.Outlook.Application( comObjectOfOutlookApplication )

sunnybg — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:57:35 GMT

Hi,
good work. Thanks.

How should I use this in an Outlook addin? Upon Outlook start, it passes a reference to the Outlook running instance to the addin as Object type. So, I can not use Application.CreateInstance, but have to reuse (wrap) this object.

Thanks
Sunny
