I have my code as follows :-
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application oXL = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Sheets sheets;
Application excel = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
excel.Workbooks.Add(System.Reflection.Missing.Value);
/*
* Here is the complete detail's about Workbook.Open()
*
* Excel.Workbooks.Open(String Filename, Object UpdateLinks, Object ReadOnly, Object Format,
* Object Password, Object WriteResPassword, Object IgnoreReadOnlyRecommended, Object Origin,
* Object Delimiter, Object Editable, Object Notify, Object Converter, Object AddToMru, Object Local, Object CorruptLoad)
*/
Workbook workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open(
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Template.xlsx"),
Missing.Value, true, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value);
sheets = workbook.Worksheets;
Now for the line :-
workbook = excel.Workbooks.Open(
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Template.xlsx"),
Missing.Value, true, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value,
Missing.Value);
It gets executed directly from the visual studio (F5) but when i try to access it with IIS it wont work. Throws error as follows:-
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Timesheet\App_Data\Template.xlsx'. There are several possible reasons:
• The file name or path does not exist.
• The file is being used by another program.
• The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
I have tried the work around as:-
- Folder and the file exist, giving access to the IUSR_### (IIS user) and to the ASPNET user in the folder where the file is.
- At Component Services(DCOM) given access to appropriate user.
I have already given all permission's to the folder where the template(.xlsx) exists
Any suggestions??
Try this:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
(for the 32-bit version of Excel/Office on a 64-bit Windows computer) or
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
(for a 32-bit version of Office on a 32-bit Windows computer or a 64-bit version of Office on a 64-bit Windows computer).
