See my answer to your reposted question. I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

When you close your document set the variable to NULL to indicate that it no longer exists. I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

In order to be able to delete a file, everything that points to the file must have been disposed. Candidates are: Image.FromFile, Image.FromStream, PictureBox.ImageLocation The problem here is you have to do special things at the end of the PictureBox's life; if the image is used in more than one location in your code, it may be hard to correctly decide on its disposal. There also is a different approach, where the problem is avoided beforehand, by copying the image; this is a schematic example: Image image1=Image.FromFile(...); Bitmap bitmap1=new Bitmap(image1); // bitmap1 is unrelated to the file! image1.Dispose(); // now the file is deletable PictureBox.Image=bitmap1; ... myForm.Close(); // will lead to PictureBox disposal // bitmap1 will be garbage collected at some point, this does not affect the file :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, and improve readability.

In general if you want to add multiple controls to a Listview then you need to produce a custom list view control derived from ListView. Check out this link C# Listview 1.3

1. Maybe transparency uses the alpha channel, so now every pixel needs 4 bytes rather than 3? 2. you should never use Bitmap.Save(string), always use Bitmap.Save(string,ImageFormat). 3.

Copying a bitmap like you do does not copy the metadata. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum Please use < PRE > tags for code snippets, it preserves indentation, and improves readability.

Try to disable double buffering, if you enable it. It seems that Control class (and its subclasses) tries to create a bitmap as a back buffer of same size as the control.

Thanks Sir !! I problem is solved.. i set the the namespace atrribute in the root!! thanks once again for being so kind.. Regrds Samir

Are you drawing directly to the screen or to the memory? I have found out that it is a lot quicker to draw to the Image, then draw that image to screen

You're welcome! :)

Try with GemBox Excel .NET component. I've been using it for some time to work with Excel files and it's much better then using Excel Interop.
