C# Excel Add-in Question

Hi!
In one of my base classes, I have a function which receive a callback from another application. In this function, I would like to access Excel.Application object but I receive an exception: QueryInterface for interface Excel._Application failed.
If my class were inherited from Windows.Forms, I could use BeginInvoke function. So I would like to know a way to access Excel.Application object in my callback function.

Build with C# for Excel Object 9.0 (Excel 2000)

Thanks in advance!

i am not sure about any tabbed form articles, youll have to search.. but they are built into windows.forms.. they are listed in your toolbox as 'TabControl'.. you should be able to use it pretty easy..

and here is the cursor question

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
// do whatever
Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default

still a newb.. cut me some slack :P

Will I do not know of an article on the topic, it is very easy to do in Visual Studio.

Place a TabControl on your blank form. Right click on it and select New Tab. Now start placing controls on that tab. At any time, right click the tab control and select Add Tab to make more tabs. You can switch between the tabs while in the designer.

I don't really know if there is a built-in function (I looked in System.DateTime but didn't see one) so I threw this one together:

private string MonthName(int iMonth)<br />
{<br />
     string[] sMonths = {"January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" };<br />
     return sMonths[iMonth] ;<br />
}

I respectfully submit that the problem description did not indicate the need for internationalization. Therefore my modest contribution met the initial requirements.

Since the bar has been raised, I will attempt to satisfy.

One solution might go thus:

public enum Mois 
{
	Janvier = 1, 
	Février, 
	Mars, 
	Avril, 
	Peut, 
	Juin, 
	Juillet, 
	Août, 
	Septembre, 
	Octobre, 
	Novembre, 
	Décembre 
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	for (Mois mois = Mois.Janvier; mois <= Mois.Décembre; mois++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (mois.ToString ());
	}
}

I suspect that this is not what was intended. So to blend my previous solution with Monsieur Nischalke:

public enum Months 
{	
	January, 	
	February, 	
	March, 	
	April, 
	May, 	
	June, 	
	July, 	
	August, 	
	September, 	
	October, 	
	November, 	
	December
};
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
	DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi = new DateTimeFormatInfo ();
	for (Months month = Months.January; month <= Months.December; month++)
	{
		Console.WriteLine (dtfi.MonthNames[(int)month]);
	}
}

This has the benefit of symbolic constants instead of literals with the internationalization.

C# Zip component

Hi all:

I'm a total newbie to C#, but would like to know if there is a freeware implementation of the zip component for data compression.

I have used a similar component in C++ for years but have not seen a similar implementation for C#.

TIA,
Martin.
