Hi everyone!

I need your help. I want to code an excel add in with C# Visual Studio 2012. (I don't know VB).

My purpose is estimating primary Demand in an hard discount Market to increase the profit and avoid the backlogging etc. If you asked for, I can upload my pseudo code but this isn't my question.

I should code the program like solver add-in, I mean I have to create a user interface form like Solver add-in to select area and start the computition. This is my challenge, I don't know how to add a windos form/userform what ever you say into excel add-in with c# .NET, and run alghorithm via it.

I need your help,
Thanks for your interest.

Of course. This is normally done in .NET. Please start here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/vextend.aspx[^].

Solution 2

You want to implement a ribbon in Excel and have your functionality accessible there, manipulate some excel sheet by that, etc.?
If "yes", use VSTO[^] - Visual Studio Tools for Office.
