I’ve been writing an application in C# which creates Custom Document properties in an Excel spreadsheet, I have a function for this which takes in a Workbook Object…

However, actually getting the current Workbook object is proving to be quite annoying, I am using ExcelDNA to add functionality, however, I can’t seem to pass my function a valid Workbook COM object.

    This is the way I am currently doing it it seems to work really well

    using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

    Then you get active workbook

    //Gets Excel and gets Activeworkbook and worksheet
Excel.Application oXL;
Excel.Workbook oWB;
Excel.Worksheet oSheet;
oXL = (Excel.Application)Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application"); 
oXL.Visible = true;
oWB = (Excel.Workbook)oXL.ActiveWorkbook; 
           
docProps = oWB.CustomDocumentProperties

    Then I would try what you have and see how it works

    Hope this helps
