Hi,
I have a static field which is being used in AddinModule and I want to access that field some in UDF to get and display some information. I tried doing it but it's giving me null, even though it's not null on the COM add in side.
Is there anyway I can access that field with it's contents.
Thanks,
Attiqe |

Hello Attiqe,
You can get it using a public method defined in the add-in module:
ExcelApp.COMAddins.Item(strMyComAddinProgId).Object.MyPublicMethod.

Andrei,
ExcelApp.COMAddins.Item("MyAddin.AddinModule").Object returns COM object not AddinModule?
While waiting for your reply I started working on another way of doing it by following this article: http://www.add-in-express.com/creating-addins-blog/2011/10/11/invoke-excel-addin-xll/
sample project runs fine but when I add XLL Addin Module and UDF in my project it isn't showing up in the Excel Add-in and it's NAME error for the UDF in cell. Following is Logs:

Hello Attiqe,
ExcelApp.COMAddins.Item(strMyComAddinProgId).Object returns a COM object, not the AddinModule class; this works in accordance with the Office object model. You call your method using late binding, see System.Type.InvokeMember().
Make sure that you register the project after adding the XLL module to your project. Also check if your project references AddinExpress.MSO.2005 of version 7.5.4072, not an older one; this often occurs if Copy Local is set to True on that reference.
