Question

I am attempting to create an Excel spreadsheet in C#. I am using VSE 2010. I added a project reference to

Microsoft Excel 14.0 Object Library

and my using statements include
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

however, this code gives an error “the type or namespace could not be found” for all the Excel. statements.

Is there anything else I need to be doing?

class excelsheet
{
    private static void CreateWorkbook(string FileName)
    {

        Excel.Application xl = null;
        Excel._Workbook wb = null;
        Excel._Worksheet sheet = null;
        //VBIDE.VBComponent module = null;
        bool SaveChanges = false;
   }
}

I’m assuming you are doing this:

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

Instead, try changing it to a using statement like:

using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
