I am trying to use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.xxxxxxx namespace but Visual Studio 2010 is not providing an option for "interop". I have the PIA's installed for office12 and office14, I have included them in the 'References' in the Solution Explorer, but it is not working.
The code I am trying to call the namespace with is:
using Excel = Microsoft.Office...;
After "Office.", I am only given the option for "Core". So it would look like this
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Core;
This matches the reference that was imported...but using this namespace does not seem to be useful.
My question is how do I get the Microsoft.Office.Interop option to be accepted and display in intellisense?
Example:
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
Error message being received for 'Interop'= "The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
The assembly that I loaded in the Solution Explorer is "Microsoft Office 14.0 Object Library" TypeLib Version 2.5. The assembly path = "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\MSO.DLL
Thanks for any suggestions!
