Update Cell Value into Excel Cell like 2009.03 and it become 2009.3

A Word-document contains special tokens to identify tables, lines, pictures and stuff. A plain text-file doesn't contain these things, as a plain text-file can only contain text.

You can use the Visual Studio for Office[^]-extensions if you're going to work with Word.

As an alternative; Microsoft Word can also read the "Rich Text File" format (RTF) and HTML files Smile | :)

Hi,

I am updating a Excel Worksheet cell value to 2009.03 and it become change to 2009.3.

I tried may ways to solve the issue but value always changed to "2009.3" instead of "2009.03" on Server. It is working on my system but not on Win XP 2003 Server System.

I used to set excel cell NumberFormat to "@", "0.00", "####.##"
and even tried to concatenated "'" before value but result not come.
The excel file is of 2007 format(.xlsx).
<u>>My Code is</u>
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook WorkBook = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet Sheet = null;
WorkBook = Utility.GetWorkbook2007(templateFileWPath);
Sheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)WorkBook.Worksheets[1];
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range TPCellRange = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)Sheet.Cells[this.GetRowIndex(Sheet, this.CellAddress), this.GetColumnIndex(Sheet, this.CellAddress)];
TPCellRange.set_Value(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault,"2009.03");

or also tried
CellValueRange.NumberFormat = "@";
CellValueRange.set_Value(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault, "2009.03");

plz reply me if any solution is possible

Thanks @ regards

Could it be that the "." (the decimalseparator) is interpreted as a thousand-separator?

"." is not a thousandseperator
its like a date value seperator or date is in yyyy.mm format
but i need actual value like "2009.03" where 2009 is year and 03 is month.

I've created a test-sheet in Excel (2007) and succesfully changed the NumberFormat using an adapted version of your code;

using XL = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

[...].
object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
XL.Application App = new XL.ApplicationClass();			
XL.Workbook WorkBook = App.Workbooks.Open("C:\\Book1.xlsx", 
	oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing,
	oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, 
	oMissing, oMissing);
XL.Worksheet Sheet = (XL.Worksheet)WorkBook.Worksheets[1];
XL.Range thisRange = (XL.Range)(Sheet.Cells[1, 1]);
thisRange.NumberFormat = "yyyy.mm";
WorkBook.Save();
WorkBook.Close(false, oMissing, oMissing);

Some points to keep in mind;

You'll need the correct Office Interop assemblies
The value that you're formatting needs to be a "real" date. (Not a string that contains month & year)

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Remote administration

Hi, all,
My application involves installation of different parts of the project in different computers on a local network. I want the administrator to check and/or start/stop different services on different PC's remotely using command line. I use C#. I don't know what technology to use. Should I use telnet/ssh or is use of WMI(System.Management Name Space) enough?.Or is there another method?. I don't want to use remote desktop or window's built-in telnet client. Nor do I want to use remote admin software like pcAnywhere. If it is possible to use both telnet/ssh and WMI, which one is better?.

You can use the SC[^] command to control services, somewhat similar to this;

sc \\MyComputerName stop "NameOfTheService"

yes you are right Eddy Vluggen. But i want to start/stop exe's, not registered services alone. also, I want to make the commands simple, for example, by giving list of numbers to choose and choosing the number runs something or brings another list of choices.

You can use the GetProcesses[^] method to generate a Proces class for all executables on the remote machine Smile | :)

Starting and stopping executables is done over the Process class, if you have the required permissions. Services can't be killed that way, hence the suggestion to use the SC.exe command.

That would enable you to start/stop executables and to start/stop services. If that's not what you want then I have misinterpreted the question.

Yes Exactly. I want console-application that shows a menu,but then do you mean I can use The Process class in the console application and that is enough?

Yup, should be enough to start or stop processes on another computer Smile | :)

Guys,

Iam very nave to this community. If some body is using Vista or W-7, we get search option on Top right of the exlplorer. The moment we type some sam, it searches and the list will be displayed, from where we can we double click the appopriate window will be displayed.

I want to know that what is the control that he is using and how he is displaying the window upon double click.

Can any body help me out.. I want to develop a Search Engine tool same like W-7 or Vista.

Thanks in Advance.... Smile | :)

That's not a standard component from the .NET framework; you'll have to search for a third-party library that offers a similar control or write your own.

Gud day everyone..

There are only two common suggestions in the internet on how to inform the users when program is busy : 1. backgroundworker 2.threading...

i want to make my own modal window with animated GIF in it. said window will display during processing and it will stop after the process. how will i do it? can anyone give me a sample....

thanks in advance.

I have done something similar, which was a borderless progress form with an animated gif, and a background worker on it. You just hook up to the DoWork and RunWorkerCompleted events as normal.

Having said that, although it worked fine in a small scale application, for a larger app I ended up writing my own threading code. Ideally the window should be modeless. But then you have to intercept all mouse and keyboard messages to ensure the end user cannot click elsewhere.

If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

The window should be modal to prevent the user from making any action while it is processing... I tried to making a separate window with animated GIf and called it under another thread but it still doesnt work..
can you give me a sample how will i do it..

thanks in advance..

Could be a largish code chunk. I'll see if I can slim it down. The key though is that the window is launched on the main GUI thread, but performs it's work on a secondary thread.
