Hi,

Iam generating a Excel file using interop services.I could save the file to my server. When i try to print using the below code it is printed if i run locally.

worksheet.PrintOut(Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing)

If i host the application in IIS ,i get error at this part of the code
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'D:\file.xls'.

C#

Workbook.Open(filePath,
           Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
           Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
           Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);

I use server.mappath to save the file.
Suggestions please.

Thanks in advance

Solution 1

There will always be a problem with this. You are writing a web application so your code runs on the server, not the client's machine. What is actually happening is that you are attempting to print the document on the server.
