C# Excel Shapes.AddPicture

can you try something like this?

Excel.Range oRange = (Excel.Range)mySheet.Cells[yourSheetRow,yourSheetCol];
Image oImage = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(imageFile));
oRange.set_Item(1,1,oImage);

Select allOpen in new window

This is close.  I get the string below in the cell.

System.Drawing.Bitmap

Thank you for your help.

if the comment helped you, you can rate the comment. Or you want to wait some more time?

Well, it hasn't solved my issue yet.  I am not getting the image.

are you getting the image in the object "oImage" (in my previous code). Can you do a null check on that? if image is getting, i can check in the function set_Item.

I tested for not null and it is not.  Is there perhaps something I could do with Range.AutoFormat to format the object as an image?

can you try this?

Excel.Range oRange = (Excel.Range)mySheet.Cells[yourSheetRow,yourSheetCol];
Image oImage = Image.FromFile(Server.MapPath(imageFile));
oRange.set_Item(1,1,oImage);
System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(oImage,true);
mySheet.Paste(oRange,imageFile);

Select allOpen in new window

I got the error below on the SetDataObject.
at System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(Object data, Boolean copy, Int32 retryTimes, Int32 retryDelay) at System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(Object data, Boolean copy) at InstructorDB.ACICSExcel.MakeExcelFile() in c:\TFS\Westwood Faculty\InstructorDB\ACICSExcel.aspx.cs:line 931

oh, Web-forms cannot use the Clipboard I think. let me check any other options

can you try this?

Excel.Application myExcelApplication = new Excel.Application();
                Excel._Workbook myWorkbook;
                Excel._Worksheet mySheet;
                Excel.Range myRange;
                Excel.Range firstRange;
                int currentRow = 0;
Excel.Range oRange = (Excel.Range)mySheet.Cells[yourSheetRow,yourSheetCol];
mySheet.Shapes.AddPicture(Server.MapPath(imageFile),
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse,
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue,
                  (float)oRange.Left,
		  (float)oRange.Top,
                    width,
                    height);

Select allOpen in new window

I'm getting a rather generic error message on the new code.

at InstructorDB.ACICSExcel.MakeExcelFile() in c:\TFS\Westwood Faculty\InstructorDB\ACICSExcel.aspx.cs:line 946

have you filled the values of row, column in yourSheetRow,yourSheetCol?
can you show me the latest function of yours?

Here it is.  I think the cast to float of the range.top and left is what is failing.

Excel.Range oRange = (Excel.Range)mySheet.Cells[currentRow, 1];
mySheet.Shapes.AddPicture(Server.MapPath(imageFile),
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse,
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue,
                    (float)oRange.Left,
                    (float)oRange.Top,
                    width,
                    height);

can you cast it to double?

Well, I got an error on thet too.  But, I checked the actual value of top.  It was 540.75.  WHen I tried to set the value of my float (top) I got a message indicateing I need to add a "F" suffix.  Itried this line of code and it worked.
top = 540.75F;
So I added "F" to the convert lines of code like below and it now works.
mySheet.Shapes.AddPicture(imageFile,
                    Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse,
                    Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue,
                    System.Convert.ToSingle(oRange.Left.ToString() + "F"),
                    System.Convert.ToSingle(oRange.Top.ToString() + "F"),
                    100,
                    100);

Thank you so muc for sticking with me on this.  I really appreciate it.

Check that I ran the wrong file.  I need to figure out how to get the "F" suffix in there somehow.

OK.  Here is the code that workds...
Single left = (Single)(1.5);
Single top = (Single)(1.5);
top = System.Convert.ToSingle(oRange.Top.ToString());
mySheet.Shapes.AddPicture(Server.MapPath(imageFile),
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse,
                    Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue,
                    left,
                    top,
                    width,
                    height);

Thanks again.

I think you have used some of the code that is mentioned in my comment, that deserves some points :)

roshmon,  
You deserve all of the credit or points or what ever.  It was not my intention to claim anythin.  My only intention was to mark the last comment as the one that work by setting the top variable with System.Convert before using it in the AddShapes.  You get all of the kudos.  Can you tell me how I can correct this?

Thank you.

roshmon, you were most helpful and I appreciate the fact that you stuck with me on this.

Thank you very much.
