Excel 2000

[rjbalicki]

We run NT 4.0 and have Office 2000 here. I've installed the SDK 1.0 of .NET and want to try to automate Excel using C#.

Do I need some sort of wrapper to do this because this version of Excel isn't .NET ready?

I've automated Excel from VB 5 & 6 and Delphi, but I have no idea what I need for C#. Any pointers would be helpful.

C# can automate Excel thru Excel's COM interface. You'd point Visual Studio at the Office automation typelib file, and it would automatically generate the COM-callable wrapper classes for you.

Do a search here, and in the VB.NET forum for helpful tips.

I think that's my issue. We don't use the new versions of Visual Studio .NET, I'm just winging it using the SDK (and 1.0 at that).

Is there a comparable command line or third party solution that can create the COM callable wraper? Or is Visual Studio .NET the only way?
