Question

I’m trying to get the

xlGeneralFormatName

From Excel, like this:

        Excel.Application _excelApp;
        Excel.Workbook _excelWB;

        _excelApp = new Excel.Application();
        _excelWB = _excelApp.Workbooks.Add();

        object o  = _excelWB.Application.International(Excel.XlApplicationInternational.xlGeneralFormatName);

but I’m getting a Cannot invoke a non-delegate type error on the last line of code.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much

International is a property, not a method. See _Application.International Property.

Perhaps you are new to C#? You get a member of an indexed property using square brackets, not parenthesis:

object o = _excelWB.Application.International[Excel.XlApplicationInternational.xlGeneralFormatName];
