Hello,

When I try to build my application using Studio 2010, I receive the above entitled error (Office is not a member of Microsoft). I have tried to add the reference to my project, but I cannot find it. This is a fresh install of Studio, and I have copied the source files from a server.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Office does not come with Visual Studio so you need to find the dlls.

Can you point me to the default location? I found several dll files in the Debug folder?

Solution 1

If you have Office installed, then go to your project and right click "References" in the Solution explorer.
Select "Add Reference..." and in the dialog that results, under "Assemblies" on the left hand side, select "Extensions"
The DLLs you are looking for will be under "Microsoft.Office.---"

If you do not have Office installed, then you need to install it before you can set the references.

I have Office installed, but cannot find the dll using the method you describe. I have found the dll in the Debug directory, what gives with that?

Not exactly. The assemblies Microsoft.Interop.Office... are under ".NET" tab. They are a part of GAC.

What is it? It does not look like Visual Studio screen.
