Different versions of Excel...

[Dionisie Andrei]

Hello!

From a Windows Forms application in C# I have to generate a simple Excel
file based on a dataset. The document is very simple, no special format is
required: just a table, bolded column names and text data on each row. This
application was developed using VS.NET 2003 & the Excel interop component
version 11, from Office 2003.

The problem occurs when I run my program on a system with Excel XP, 2000 or
older version. I get an exception that I have an incompatible version
instaleed. What can I do ? I have to recode the application using an older
excel component or what ?

You need to make an Interop assembly that will work across all versions of
Excel.
