SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:03 GMT

Hi,

the following piece of code throws an System.AccessViolationException

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Excel = NetOffice.ExcelApi;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Initialize Api COMObject Support
LateBindingApi.Core.Factory.Initialize();

Excel.Application excelApplication = new Excel.Application();
Excel.Workbook workbook = excelApplication.Workbooks.Add(); //._Open(@"D:\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\QIMSIECAInterface\QIMSIECAInterface\Templates\General.xls");

excelApplication.Visible = true;

Excel.Worksheet sheet = (Excel.Worksheet)workbook.Worksheets[1];

for (int i = 12; i < 100; i++)
{
Excel.Range r = sheet.Cells[i, 1];
Debug.WriteLine(i);
i++;
}

excelApplication.Quit();
excelApplication.Dispose();
}
}
}

Exception details are the following:
System.AccessViolationException was unhandled

Closed Issue: wrap all exceptions from office COM Server in a COMException [16220]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:02 GMT

Interop Assemblies wrap all exceptions from the COM Server in a COMException.
NetOffice doesnt do that and existing code there using interop assemblies are not portable without changes maybe.
task: wrap all exceptions in a COMException.

Closed Issue: Exception while add Event Trigger in actual Office Versions [16314]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:02 GMT

a major bug is reported by Boris Hurinek.
NetOffice creates the eventbridge for an object always with the lowest available EventInterface.
as outcome you got an exception while add an event trigger or your specific event was not fired in actual office versions.
The problem is located in SinkHelper.cs in LateBindingApi.Core.dll
next release with fixed issue comes in 2-3 days.
the error is resolved in latest source code: NetOffice\Source\Net v2.0 v3.0 v3.5 as hotfix

Closed Issue: Shape.Line and Shape.Fill throw exceptions in NetOffice [16324]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:02 GMT

After adding a line to the worksheet with the Worksheet.Shapes.AddLine method, the .Line property of the returned Excel.Shape cannot be accessed. A LateBindingApi.Core.LateBindingApiException is thrown with the message that the LineFormat class is not found in LateBindingApi. When using the interop directly (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel instead of using NetOffice), we are able to access the .Line property of the returned Shape object.

using Excel = NetOffice.ExcelApi;

LateBindingApi.Core.Factory.Initialize();
Excel.Application XL = new Excel.Application(null, ExcelDnaUtil.Application); // We're using ExcelDna here

Excel.Worksheet ws = (Excel.Worksheet)XL.ActiveSheet;
Excel.Shape arrow = ws.Shapes.AddLine(288.0F, 218.5F, 592.0F, 218.5F); // Randomly add a line
Excel.LineFormat lf = arrow.Line; // Throws exception

// arrow.Line.DashStyle = (MsoLineDashStyle)2; // This throws an exception as we cannot access the .Line object

Exception:
System.Exception {LateBindingApi.Core.LateBindingApiException}
{"LineFormat class not found in LateBindingApi."}

We can get around this by accessing the ComObject directly:

dynamic proxy = arrow.UnderlyingObject;
proxy.Line.DashStyle = 2;

Also, when trying to access the Shape.Fill property, it is always set to null in NetOffice:

using Excel = NetOffice.ExcelApi;

LateBindingApi.Core.Factory.Initialize();
Excel.Application XL = new Excel.Application(null, ExcelDnaUtil.Application); // We're using ExcelDna here

dynamic comment = XL.ActiveSheet.Comments[1]; // Get the first comment on the current worksheet
try
{
comment.Shape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 255; // This throws an error as .Fill is null in NetOffice proxy object
}
catch
{
dynamic comment_interop = comment.UnderlyingObject; // We must set it directly thru the underlying proxy object
comment_interop.Shape.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 255; // This works
}

Exception Thrown:
System.Exception {Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException}
{"Cannot perform runtime binding on a null reference"}

Closed Issue: Some lists are not Enumerable in Outlook [16739]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:01 GMT

Please implement IEnumerable on the various lists across the solution. Otherwise, there are a lot of foreach-statements in applications that would need to be rewritten to for-loops for people migrating to NetOffice.

Examples from my compile output:
foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'NetOffice.OutlookApi._Items' because 'NetOffice.OutlookApi._Items' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'NetOffice.OutlookApi.Stores' because 'NetOffice.OutlookApi.Stores' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'NetOffice.OutlookApi._Folders' because 'NetOffice.OutlookApi._Folders' does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'

As an example, see attached file, or https://gist.github.com/1284715#file__items_enumerator.cs , where I have implemented an Enumerator for _Items.cs in v1.1 of NetOffice.

If you want to, I could contribute by creating a patch for the three lists mentioned. But you probably have a better overview of how many places this should be implemented. And maybe if there is a generic solution so we don't need so much copy-pasting.

Closed Issue: Missing indexer for some properties [16898]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:01 GMT

Some properties are missing the indexer to access an item. Especially BuiltInDocumentProperties and CustomDocumentProperties on Word.Document should have it.
For BuiltInDocumentProperties it should be possible to access an item using the WdBuiltInProperty enum (BuiltInDocumentProperties[WdBuiltInProperty.wdPropertyAuthor])

Closed Issue: Exception while using custom Enumerators [16994]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:01 GMT

an issue is reported by ngx.

http://netoffice.codeplex.com/discussions/281614

custom enumerators use a wrong array range in NetOffice, as outcome an exception was thrown.
task: change used array range and make sure it works good.

Closed Issue: Word Window.GetPoint does not return values [17015]

Piet123 — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:00 GMT

The GetPoint function of a Word application Window object, does not return any values in NetOffice.
GetPoint(int,int,int,int,object)

It should work like the interop method:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.word.window.getpoint(v=office.14).aspx

GetPoint(out int,out int,out int,out int,object)

Closed Issue: Attach to instance of MSOffice App [17043]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:00 GMT

Now we cant attach COMObject to a running instance of any COM, that registered in ROT. All (?) MS Office App register self instances in ROT, so .....

NetOffice must support attaching to exists instance.

Note: see examlple from MS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238975/en-us

Closed Issue: wrong entity type: IRibbonUI, ICustomTaskPaneConsumer [17050]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:00 GMT

I do mistake in Release 1.3.1

the following interfaces are generated as classes and have to generate as interface of course.

IRibbonUI
IRibbonControl

Closed Issue: create vba-style overloads for properties with parameters [17224]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:51:00 GMT

properties with parameters are mapped in NetOffice and Interop assemblies as method with "get_" or/and "set_" prefix. this is very untypical for VBA developers.
task: create a mapped method without "get_" or/and "set_" for the possible scenarios.

the possible scenario is: the property has min. 1 non optional parameter and the property name is not the same as the including type.

Closed Issue: InvalidCastException in Word Dialog.Show [17551]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:59 GMT

I get an InvalidCastException when using the Dialog.Show method in a Word add-in.
It may be caused by a cast of 'object' to 'int' the NetOffice code , while the return object is in fact 'Int16'

Closed Issue: major bug in NetOffice 1.4.0 [17665]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:59 GMT

NetOffice 1.4 has a critical bug in the new SafeMode functionality.
The SafeMode (Settings.EnableSafeMode, true by default) doesnt work correctly.
This feature checks at runtime automaticly the property or method you call is available und throws an EntityNotAvailableException if is not supported from your current office application. the feature is supported by a caching dictionary. the dictionary is lost for a type if you dispose them. thats a mistake. if you use the same type again, you get an error for any method or property call(EntityNotAvailableException). as Hotfix please disable the SafeMode.

LateBindingApi.Core.Settings.EnableSafeMode = false;

i do a fix today AND disable the SafeMode by default.

Closed Issue: InvalidCastException for some enum properties [17855]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:59 GMT

in some situations, office returns the value for an enum as double.
typical is integer, but it is what is is. in this situation an InvalidCastException ocurred.
task: fix the problem

Closed Issue: Syntactical issue with parametrized properties [17856]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:58 GMT

for properties with optional parameters and 0 properties in the minimal version you need the get_ Method overload to use them, but the get_ Overload is hidden in intellisense. this is a good way.
task: clearify the situation and make the get_ overloads visible in Intellisense in this situation.

Closed Issue: Please add 'Trace' ConsoleMode to DebugConsole [17986]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:58 GMT

Right now, the DebugConsole class has options to log to the console, file or memorylist.
Could you please add 'Trace' as an option which logs a message using the .NET framework trace logging system.
A call to System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine(message) will do fine.

I request this because it is the most easy way to find problems when developing Add-Ins for us (there is no console available for an add-in).
By default, System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine, messages are written to the Windows debug output. Those messages are displayed in the Visual Studio debug output window in debug mode, and can also be shown using the sysinternals 'DebugView' tool.
By using the app.config, the user can even log the trace output to other outputs.

Thank you for this great product, much much better than VSTO!

Closed Issue: Resharper/MSpec Assembly bind erros with 1.5.1 [18003]

SebastianDotNet — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:58 GMT

Hi Sebastian,

(I'm writing in English so others can also follow the discussion aas i gues this may affect more people then just me)

I've just upgraded to 1.5.1 and now all Specs (MSpec tests) that are using a running Excel instance (my intigraion test) fail with an assembly binding error for (Resharper.*.dlls) when running from Resharpers test runner.
When running from Commandline everything works. This is quite strange as i did not find any hint what happens in the NetOffice.dll causing reahsrper to fail resolving it's assemblies.

It is definatelly triggered by the NetOffice.dll as all tests not using the NetOffice API are working.

This is not a major issue for me as 1.4.1 is working perfectly - just wanted to let you know that there are some strange sideeffects triggered by NetOffice

Closed Issue: config loadFromRemoteSources needed? [18020]

mausoma — Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:57 GMT

Hi,

when using the new 1.5.1 assemblies (build 90130) from my .net 4.0 application I receive a NotSupportedExeption "The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly." when calling
var app = new NetOffice.ExcelApi.Application();

I don't know why, because the examples in
\Examples\Misc\C#\Examples\MiscExamples
don't throw this exception.

After some investigation I found
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409252(VS.100).aspx
(<loadFromRemoteSources> Element)
and after setting it in my app.config it works fine.

I have my project sources and assemblies all stored on a local drive somewhere under c:\ !

Prior to this I used version 1.3 and I didn't receive this exception!

So I enabled DebugConsole.Mode to Trace and receive the attached exception infos
