Add sheets to Excel with VB.net

Sep 3 2010 9:14 AM

Hello
I'm trying to generate an Excel ss using vb.net and add/name sheets. It works but not quite
[code]
Imports
Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlWorkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim misValue As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value
Dim intCount As Short ' from 0 to 255 - should be sufficient. Integer would add unnecessary "space"
xlApp =
New Excel.ApplicationClass
xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue)
xlWorkSheet = xlWorkBook.Sheets(
"sheet1")
' add new worksheets & name worksheets ----------------------------
xlApp.Range(
"A50:I50").EntireColumn.AutoFit()

With xlWorkBook
.Sheets(
"Sheet1").Select()
intCount = 1
'use FOR Instead of While
'Insert sheet(s) 1 - 7 ( Takoro #1 - Takoro #7 )
'For intCount = 1 To 7
'better to work with exact objects, rather than index values, in order to identify a sheet. Especially here:
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
For intCount = 1 To 7
ws = .Worksheets.Add(After:=.Worksheets(intCount))
'INSERT AFTER LAST WORKSHEET
'Use counter variable properly to rename all sheets accordingly
ws.Name =
"Taroko # " & intCount.ToString()
ws =
Nothing
Next
.Worksheets.Add(Before:=.Worksheets(1))
'Add config sheet last. BEFORE Takoro #1
.Sheets(1).Name =
"config" 'Config is now the first sheet
xlApp.Visible =
True
End With
xlWorkSheet.Columns(
"A:J").ColumnWidth = 28
' BIOS Lab header --------------------------

End With
xlWorkSheet.SaveAs(
"C:\Taroko_config.xlsx")
'xlWorkBook.Close()
'xlApp.Quit()
releaseObject(xlApp)
releaseObject(xlWorkBook)
releaseObject(xlWorkSheet)

End Sub
[/code]
It works but it adds 3 extra sheets two on the far right and one in the second spot. Also the data that is supposed to be on the config sheet in on the one to the right of it.
thanks for any help.
