<t>For manipulating Excel files, you can indeed use the Excel Automation interface:Excel Object ModelThe documentation is with VBA examples but it also largely applies if you use C++.

<t>Unless you are living in Russia, your DNS servers are wrong. The IP address points to a server in Moscow. The IP range is owned by Promnet Ltd in the Ukraine.Usually you should set the DNS in your network settings to "Obtain DNS server address automatically". Also usually the "Obtain an IP addres...

<t>This seems a workaround for a failing DNS server. Normally the DNS server will translate download.mcafee.com to the right IP address.When you type in the commandline: ping download.mcafee.comYou should see what IP address your DNS server returns. I get two different IP addresses but the addresses...

<t>Why is the host file changed?I'm running McAfee too and the only entry in my host file is for "localhost". So McAfee does not require anything in your host file.But maybe some kind of malware added an entry to your host file that redirects the McAfee update server.What is the content of your host...

<t>Hi,Daniel asked me to post the "Datasim Excel Random Functions" automation add-in.This add-in wraps some of the boost random functions in an COM .dll that can be loaded into Excel as automation add-in. The functions can then be called as Excel worksheet functions.The .dll can also be used from VB...

<t>QuoteOriginally posted by: Cuchulainn3. Are you using rectangular arrays?Indeed there are two kinds of arrays in C#. You are using "jagged arrays' (arrays of arrays).

<t>There seems some confusion here.Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) is not the same as Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA)!VSTO is an extension to Visual Studio 2003/2005 to automate Office. Here a .dll created in .NET is referenced and executed by an office document. The .NET .dll uses...

<t>QuoteNo. DLLs work with C and C++ equally well. The only issue with dynamically loading a C++ library is getting the "munged" symbol names correct, and the compiler/linker/dynamic linker usually take care of that. Think of all the DLLs in Windows written using MFC. Standard Windows DLL only conta...
