Hi
We are facing a issue with one of our VB 6.0 application.
There is line of code which convert a text file to excel file through Excel.Workbook.
This code works fine when we run through windows application.

But if we run the same exe from a windows service developed in C#.Net then it gives this error on this line

VB

oWB.SaveAs FileName, XlFileFormat.xlExcel8

I have tried to search on google but didn't get any success.

Any suggestion will be very much helpful.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards
AR

That message suggests you have some serious corruption in your code or data, but you need to do some debugging to find it.

Ankit,
after some googling on your specific problem; I found that it might be due to the following scenario:
the VB6 assembly uses a specific version of Microsoft Excel Interop dll whereas your C#.Net code uses a different version of Excel as reference. If this is the scenario; please try recompile the VB 6 code with the version used in .Net code and then try using that.

Please let me know and if possible please give the version details (MS Excel) (if problem persists). :)

Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
Actually the same scenario is working fine on my pc with Windows XP.
and on both side we have installed Office 2007.
Another thing, we dont have any reference of excel in c# code.
