I have searched and nothing that I have found hits directly on what I am looking for (or maybe my searches have not hit on the combo of words).
In C# I have created an Excel sheet, using Interop.Excel, in which I insert some data and create a chart. This all works fine when I do a xlWorkBook.SaveAs.
What I want to do is prompt the user to put the automated workbook somewhere with thier own file name. I have tried (<http://p2p.wrox.com/vb-how/63900-disabling-second-excel-save-prompt.html>) where he basically does a new SaveFileDialog then if its == OK he builds his Excel sheet then he says that his workbook.SaveAs(FilePathFromSaveAsDialog) causes a prompt. When I try it, I get the "Showing modal dialog box when application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation" error.
I would paste all my code but it is on a seperate system, however the just of it is:
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Office
//....then on click of link button....
Excel.Application xlApp;
Excel.Workbook xlWorbook;
Excel.Workbooks xlWorkbooks;
Excel.Sheets xlSheets;
Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet;
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
xlApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();
xlWorkBooks = xlApp.Workbooks;
xlWorkBook = xlWorbooks.Add(misValue);
xlSheets = xlWorkBook.Worksheets;
xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)xlSheets.get_Item(1);
//....Now I fill my Excel sheet data and make my chart >>> then I close like below...
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = true;
//HERE IS WHERE I WANT TO EITHER PASS THE PATH AND FILE NAME FROM USER OR USE A PROMPT
xlWorkBook.SaveAs("Test.xls", Excel.XFileFormat.XlWorkbookNormal, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, Excel.XlSaveAsAccessMode.xlExclusive, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue);
xlWorkBook.Close(true, misValue, misValue);
xlApp.Quit();
//finally I release all my objects via Marshal.ReleaseComObject then GC.Collect
