OLE Problem

[Guest KidCoder]

Yes! It's true! I finally upgraded! :D Does anybody know the .NET equivalent to an OLE? I found some OLEish stuff on the data tab of the tool box, but I couldn't tell it what to reference to and stuff, and some were like server things. :confused:

I couldn't search VB Forums because the minimum number of search characters in a word is 4 or something, and OLE is 3.

There isn't a .NET equivalent to OLE.

What are you trying to accomplish?

[Guest KidCoder]

I'm 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, that'd 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. :) It's for VB6, though. :(

As you're been told, there is no OLE in .NET.

[Guest 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]

There's 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.
