Question

I created a visual studio excel workbook project which contains ThisWorkbook class and I then included a functions class so that I can create my own excel function. I am trying to write a value to a cell using c# through the use of the function. I can write to the excel cell through the function class but only by creating a new application/workbook. So everytime I use this excel function, it will open new instance of excel. Is there a way I can write to a cell in the current excel workbook that is already opened?

Answer 1

You probably create a new Excel application, instead of connecting to the active Excel application.

Use the GetActiveObject to get your reference to the Excel application object.
