OLE Problem

[KidCoder]

Yes! Its true! I finally upgraded! Does anybody know the .NET equivalent to an OLE? I found some OLEish stuff on the data tab of the tool box, but I couldnt tell it what to reference to and stuff, and some were like server things.
I couldnt search VB Forums because the minimum number of search characters in a word is 4 or something, and OLE is 3.

There isnt a .NET equivalent to OLE.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Im trying to use Excel in a project. If I could just detect if the user has Excel, and then open it and put data into it that way, thatd work too.

Thanks,
Kid

Ah! I got it! I FINALLY found something on pscode.com! Check it out this shows how to use Excel from VB. Its for VB6, though.

As youre been told, there is no OLE in .NET.

 

[KidCoder]

I know. I kinda got off the subject here, but can you OPEN excel and use it that way? (instead of OLEing)

 

[Derek Stone]

Theres an example of using Excel from VB.NET in this board. Try searching for it.

Now I feel like a royal heel for not finding this before. I could sware I did 2 or 3 searches before I posted this.
