Hi Henrik

Best regards

       Hi Nick
 
Thats wierd!
 
The only thing i can come up with is that the dll is not in the assembly cache
 
Try to install it in the assembly cache with the gacutil tool
 
 
gacutil -i spreadsheetgear.dll
 
Hope this helps
 
Regards

Hi Henrik

 

The product itself ships with one dll.  Spreadsheetgear.dll.   Using the .net reflector indicates that the iworkbook type is located within the spreadsheetgear.dll.

 

I have not used .net reflector before.  Is it supposed to show all links and dependencies for a particular assembly?  I guess from what you said that there may be another unspecified dll that is being called by the spreadsheetgear.dll.

 

Anyway, thanks for your input.

 

Best regards

 

Nick

Hi Nick

I don't know the spreadsheetgear product, but the TypeLoadException indicates that it tries to load a object from a different dll, which it cant find.

Have you verified that you have referenced all the necessary dll's ?

Try to use the .NET reflector to find out in which dll the iworkbook type is situated

Hi All

 

I am currently trying to evaluate a third party dot net library/control called spreadsheetgear.  This library essentially provides excel like spreadsheet functionality including a workbook viewer component.

 

Unfortunately, the library seems to be incompatible with vee.

 

I have referenced the spreadsheetgear.dll assembly under .net assembly references and imported all of the namespaces for the library.  I can now see those namespaces from formula boxes and can see them under .net operation builder, etc.

 

However, even when I run the simplest of formula on the library I get an error 760 saying something like “Exception type: System.TypeLoadException  Failed to load type spreadsheetgear.iworkbook”

 

I am also evaluating a competing product “Farpoint Spread 4.0 .net” and that product seems to work ok within vee.

 

Does anyone have any insight, guidance, thoughts, etc about how to get third party dot net libraries working reliably in vee.  Should I expect all third party .net components to work ok with vee?

 

Thanks and regards

 

Nick
