Platform invoke???
-
Can you explain what you're trying to do? If you're trying to drive excel, you'd do that through COM interop, not through P/Invoke. You do that by adding the excel com component to your project (or through tlbimp if you don't have vs).
Ummm, Eric your company is giving us this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/001/999/msdncompositedoc.xml[^] and they say to use that instead of doing any type of COM stuff. Just thought I'd let you know. :) Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI

Thanks for your reply. I use Microsoft Excel Object Library to create and edit on Excel files. So I have to make sure that Microsoft Excel is already installed. I also want to check I can use ADOX on the user's computer or not. I think if getting CLSID of these components successfully, I can use them. Is it right?

I didn't know we'd made those available. The page you link is correct, you should use the primary interop assemblies rather than rolling your own.
-
How would such an interop assembly behave on a system where excel is not installed? Would it crap out on me while loading the application or would it throw a bunch of exceptions at me when I try to instantiate the COM-objects? -- Please state the nature of your medical emergency.
Hmm. I don't know the answer to that.

The big reason is that they're signed.

This much (holding hands about 3 feet apart)... Perhaps "released" would have been a better term.
