Hello Community,
I was wondering if there is a way to make a program that will copy text from an excel spreatsheet and place it in another using visualbasic.net not vba?

Please Help

you need to write a program to read excel file using .net and use the same application to write back into another excel.

I know that. I'm asking how?

you mean you want the complete code? or just an idea?

Maby a bit of the code just to start me off

Hi,

Do you mean manipulate Excel without it being installed on the machine or do you just want a way to do it in .net as opposed to vba?

If you don't mind excel being installed on the machine, then you can use Interop. Here is a sample: DevX.com

As for the other, I'm not 100% sure, I did do a project where I was trying to manipulate newer versions of excel as they are basically compressed XML files but I didn't get very far before we had to pull the plug.
