Excel Services coding example

For those of you interested in programming Excel Services, check out this blog.

One of the developers (Shahar) working on Excel Services team has posted an article that walks through the details of programmatically working with a workbook using Excel Services.  There are both C# and VB.NET samples available.  I think Shahar plans to cover a range of topics over the coming months, so if you are interested, keep watching his site.

  • First of all, Excel 2007 (and the entire Office 2007 suite) looks fantastic.  Secondly, when can we expect information about macro programming in Excel?  Does 2007 still use VBA exclusively out of the box or will there be support for C# or VB.NET?

  • Hi Sana - thanks for the compliments.  2007 still uses VBA out of the box.  We do provide something called 'primary interop assemblies' which allow for unmanaged (COM) code to be called from managed (.NET) code by using the Microsoft .NET Framework and the common language runtime, but those are also availble for 2003.  At some point, I will have a post or two.

  • OK. This is off-topic. Last time I mentioned about the bug, however there is really no place to post about this effectively. May be it might be a good idea to do something what Visual Studio started, the Ladybug system. I don't want a new one created, but may be add the Office to there. That way posters can get to see what happened to the bugs/suggestions they submitted. Instead of getting the customer service replied you back to check the newsgroup and provide the workarounds, which are not my intentions.

  • Ti - I will take a look at the VS solution.  Thanks for pointing that out.
