I get the following error when ever I try to access some data in Excel.
I have read that the solution is to change the culture, but isn't there a better solution to this?

Hi Michael.
Another solution is to use the late binding and set the culture directly in the add-in code.
E.g.
hostVersion = Convert.ToString(applicationObject.GetType().InvokeMember(
"Version", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, applicationObject, null, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture));

I uses this class to switch from "en-US" to my original language.
You can use the class by calling:
using(new ExcelUILanguageHelper())
{
// calling excel specific code i.e. app.Workbooks.Open(...);
}
Here is the class:
class ExcelUILanguageHelper : IDisposable
{
private CultureInfo m_CurrentCulture;
public ExcelUILanguageHelper()
{
// save current culture and set culture to en-US
m_CurrentCulture = Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
}
#region IDisposable Members
public void Dispose()
{
// return to normal culture
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = m_CurrentCulture;
}
#endregion
}

Hi Marwa.
Please try to use the InvokeMember method with the CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture parameter. |
