C#: How to access an Excel cell?

Question

I am trying to open an Excel file and populate its cells with data? I have done the following coding so far.

Currently I am at this stage with the following code but

Answer 1

I think, that you have to declare the associated sheet!

Try something like this

objsheet(1).Cells[i,j].Value;

Answer 2

Simple.

To open a workbook. Use xlapp.workbooks.Open()

where you have previously declared and instanitated xlapp as so.. Excel.Application xlapp = new Excel.Applicaton();

parameters are correct.

Next make sure you use the property Value2 when assigning a value to the cell using either the cells property or the range object.

Answer 3

How I work to automate Office / Excel:

1. Record a macro, this will generate a VBA template
2. Edit the VBA template so it will match my needs
3. Convert to VB.Net (A small step for men)
4. Leave it in VB.Net, Much more easy as doing it using C#

Answer 4

You can use the below code; it's working fine for me:

newWorkbook = appExcel.Workbooks.Add();

Answer 5

Try:

Excel.Application oXL;
Excel._Workbook oWB;
Excel._Worksheet oSheet;
Excel.Range oRng;

oXL = new Excel.Application();
oXL.Visible = true;
oWB = (Excel._Workbook)(oXL.Workbooks.Add(Missing.Value));

oSheet = (Excel._Worksheet)oWB.Worksheets;
oSheet.Activate();

oSheet.Cells[3, 9] = "Some Text"

Answer 6

This works fine for me

       Excel.Application oXL = null;
        Excel._Workbook oWB = null;
        Excel._Worksheet oSheet = null;

        try
        {
            oXL = new Excel.Application();
            string path = @"C:\Templates\NCRepTemplate.xlt";
            oWB = oXL.Workbooks.Open(path, 0, false, 5, "", "",
                false, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "", true, false,
                0, true, false, false);

            oSheet = (Excel._Worksheet)oWB.ActiveSheet;
            oSheet.Cells[2, 2] = "Text";
