With C#: Open Excelbook (*.xlsb) and run macro

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I would like to open an excelbook containing a macro called "auto_open" and run this macro.

Normally the auto_open macro will run automaticly when the workbook is open, but when using c# to open the excelbook, it apparently does not.

I have this code to open the excelbook:

C#

void OpenExcelFile()
{
    Excel.Application excelApp = new Excel.Application();
    excelApp.Visible = true;
    string workbookPath = @"c:\Users\mko\Documents\Tidsregistrering\Tidsregistrering.xlsm";
    Excel.Workbook excelWorkbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(workbookPath,
            0, false, 5, "", "", false, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "",
            true, false, 0, true, false, false);     
}

I have found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14248592/running-an-excel-macro-via-c-run-a-macro-from-one-workbook-on-another

and can see that RunMacro(oExcel, new Object[]{"Worksheet01.xlsm!First_Macro"});
where “first_macro” could be my macro, should be able to run the macro.

But runMacro comes from the dll Microsoft.Hpc.Excel (in Microsoft.Hpc.Excel.dll
and that is no where to be found on my computer.
Could I download ? but where ?

Found another solution without downloading HPC:

C#

oXL = new Excel.Application();
            oXL.Visible = true;
            oWB = (Excel._Workbook)(oXL.Workbooks.Open(@"c:\Excelbook with macro.xlsm", Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value));
            
oWB.RunAutoMacros(XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen);
