Error adding worksheet to workbook
Hello,
I am trying to create function that will return a worksheet and add it to a newly created workbooks. In the following code, I loop through a listview and populate a list object which I subsequentlly pass through Function Generate Worksheet. When I run the code, I see the new sheet being populated but I am getting a Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC error on line wb.Worksheets.Add(ws)

InnerException:
If you notice there are 2 arguments for the Copy method - Before and After, you only seem to be supplying the Before.
I don't know how VB.NET handles missing arguments, but I know C#.NET can be a bit picky - in earlier versions you have to provide every argument or use Missing.
That's about 13 (or is it 15) arguments for something as 'simple' as opening a workbook.
Also Before:= is a named argument, again I don't know how VB.NET (or C#.NET) handles them.
The first thing I would try would be to remove 'Before:='.
Then I would try removing all the argument(s) leaving just (), not quite sure how that would work - in VBA if you don't have any arguments then a new workbook is created with just the copied sheet in it.
Another thing I would try would be to supply both the before and after arguments but I don't quite know how that would work - might be tricky telling the code you want to copy before one worksheet and after another.
Anyway, try those - in no particular order mind you.
I'll check it out myself later.

I was able to get rid of the error by opening both workbooks into the same instance of Excel. However I am getting a cast error at ws.Copy(wbkDest.Worksheets
For Each dp As DatasetPair In dpl
Dim excelApp As New Excel.Application
Dim ws As New Excel.Worksheet
ws = GenerateWorksheet(dp)
ws.SaveAs(wb.Path.ToString)
Dim strSourceFilePath As String
strSourceFilePath = wb.Path.ToString & "\" & wb.Name.ToString
MessageBox.Show(strSourceFilePath)
'wb.Close()
Dim wbkDest As Excel.Workbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(strFilePath)
Dim wbkSource As Excel.Workbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(strSourceFilePath)
'ws.Copy(Before:=wbkDest.Worksheets.Count - 1)
ws.Copy(wbkDest.Worksheets(wbkDest.Worksheets.Count - 1))
Next
Well it might have helped to know there was multiple instances of Excel kicking around.:)
Why do you have more than 1 in the first place?
I can't see anything in the posted code suggesting that would be needed.
Even if you do need more than one instance, are you sure you need one for every iteration of the loop?
Mind you I am just going by what code you've posted - there seems to be a few classes/functions being called/whatever.
That might even be where the cast error is originating, though I can't seem to see any casting in the code.

I removed the mutliple instances of excel after doing some research. As far as the cast error is concerned, all I am attempting to do is copy a worksheet to the location defined in the new workbook as worksheets.count - 1
