I have the following code that creates a new Excel file in my C# code behind. When I attempt to save the file I would like the user to select the location of the save.
In Method #1, I can save the file my using the workbook SaveCopyAs without prompting the user for a location. This saves one file to the C:\Temp directory.
Method #2 will save the file in my Users\Documents folder, then prompt the user to select the location and save a second copy. How can I eliminate the first copy from saving in the Users\Documents folder?
Excel.Application oXL;
Excel._Workbook oWB;
Excel._Worksheet oSheet;
Excel.Range oRng;
try
{
//Start Excel and get Application object.
oXL = new Excel.Application();
oXL.Visible = false;
//Get a new workbook.
oWB = (Excel._Workbook)(oXL.Workbooks.Add(Missing.Value));
oSheet = (Excel._Worksheet)oWB.ActiveSheet;
// *****
oSheet.Cells[2, 6] = "Ship To:";
oSheet.get_Range("F2", "F2").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.Cells[2, 7] = sShipToName;
oSheet.Cells[3, 7] = sAddress;
oSheet.Cells[4, 7] = sCityStateZip;
oSheet.Cells[5, 7] = sContactName;
oSheet.Cells[6, 7] = sContactPhone;
oSheet.Cells[9, 1] = "Shipment No:";
oSheet.get_Range("A9", "A9").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.Cells[9, 2] = sJobNumber;
oSheet.Cells[9, 6] = "Courier:";
oSheet.get_Range("F9", "F9").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.Cells[9, 7] = sCarrierName;
oSheet.Cells[11, 1] = "Requested Delivery Date:";
oSheet.get_Range("A11", "A11").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.Cells[11, 2] = sRequestDeliveryDate;
oSheet.Cells[11, 6] = "Courier Acct No:";
oSheet.get_Range("F11", "F11").Font.Bold = true;
oSheet.Cells[11, 7] = sCarrierAcctNum;
// *****
Method #1
//oWB.SaveCopyAs(@"C:\Temp\" + sJobNumber +".xls");
Method #2
oXL.SaveWorkspace(sJobNumber + ".xls");
}
catch (Exception theException)
{
String errorMessage;
errorMessage = "Error: ";
errorMessage = String.Concat(errorMessage, theException.Message);
errorMessage = String.Concat(errorMessage, " Line: ");
errorMessage = String.Concat(errorMessage, theException.Source);
}
