Trouble with vs 2008 excel add in walk through

Trouble with vs 2008 excel add in walk through

Trouble with vs 2008 excel add in walk through

(OP)
Hello,
I'm having some problems with  msdn tutorial http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668205.aspx

Excel opens but the string that was supposed to be in A1 is not there ie "This text was added by using code"

I did everything as per instruction
Create Project Excel 2007 Add In
Copied code to relevant methods and events
Ran it,
Nothing
Here's the code as it stands

CODE

namespace FirstExcelAddIn
{
    public partial class ThisAddIn
    {
        private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Application.WorkbookBeforeSave += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.AppEvents_WorkbookBeforeSaveEventHandler(Application_WorkbookBeforeSave);
            
        }

        private void ThisAddIn_Shutdown(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
        }

        #region VSTO generated code

        /// <summary>
        /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
        /// the contents of this method with the code editor.
        /// </summary>
        private void InternalStartup()
        {
            this.Startup += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Startup);
            this.Shutdown += new System.EventHandler(ThisAddIn_Shutdown);
        }
        
        #endregion
        void Application_WorkbookBeforeSave(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook Wb, bool SaveAsUI, ref bool Cancel)
        {
            Excel.Worksheet activeWorksheet = ((Excel.Worksheet)Application.ActiveSheet);
            Excel.Range firstRow = activeWorksheet.get_Range("A1", missing);
            firstRow.EntireRow.Insert(Excel.XlInsertShiftDirection.xlShiftDown, System.Type.Missing);
            Excel.Range newFirstRow = activeWorksheet.get_Range("A1", missing);
            newFirstRow.Value2 = "This text was added by using code";
        }

    }
}

For a bit of fun I threw in a

CODE

throw new System.Exception("An exception has occurred.");
as the first line of the Application_WorkbookBeforeSave() method. It didn't throw. I get the impression the startup event is prevented from firing the attached method???

Using visual studio 2008, office 2007 pro, vista 64 and running as unlocked administrator (that's a private grievance). I checked for security settings in this type of project but there aren't any ie Project Properties > Security. Not there.

Sincere thanks for someone to click on link
