The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Accessing Excel's methods/properties via Visual Studio C#

Asked by Enzar in Microsoft Visual C#.Net, Visual Studio, C# Programming Language

Tags: Visual Studio 2005, C#

I have a spreadsheet (see attached TEST.XLS) which has 2 groups of 3 radio buttons as follows:

Caption            "Name" in Properties      Name in Name Box                  
Rebates            Rebates                  OptionButton1
Incentives      Incentive                  OptionButton2
Both            OptionButton4            OptionButtion4
Supplier            OptionButton1            OptionButton1
Warehouse      OptionButton2            OptionButton2
Charge Through      OptionButton3            OptionButton3

I want to determine which of these buttons has been selected (i.e. with a value of "True").  I currently use the code below which works off the Name which is listed in the "Name Box".  The problem is that these are not unique (i.e. Button "Supplier" has a Name in the "Name Box" of "OptionButton1", and so does button "Rebates".).  So when I use the following command, it will refer to "Rebates" and not "Supplier":

     bButton = (OLEObject)worksheet.OLEObjects("OptionButton1");

Is there a way in Visual C# (2005) so that I can access the values of all 6 of these buttons?

Changing the name which appears in the "Name Box" in the spreadsheet is not an option for me.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanks
Geoff
