And about this code:

‘ OpenOffice being a 32 bit app, its registry location is different in a 64 bit OS If (Marshal.SizeOf(GetType(IntPtr)) = 8) Then baseKey = “SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\OpenOffice.org\” Else baseKey = “SOFTWARE\OpenOffice.org\” End If

IntPtr.Size won’t return the correct value if running in 32-bit .NET Framework 2.0 on 64-bit Windows (it would return 32-bit).

USE THIS INSTEAD:

region DLL import to find bit version

    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Winapi)]
    [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
    public static extern bool IsWow64Process([In] IntPtr hProcess, [Out] out bool lpSystemInfo);
    #endregion
    #region Windows bit version finding
    public static bool Is64Bit()
    {
        bool retVal;
        IsWow64Process(Process.GetCurrentProcess().Handle, out retVal);
        return retVal;
    }
    public static string GetOSBit()
    {
        bool is64bit = Is64Bit();
        if (is64bit)
            return "x64";
        else
            return "x32";
    }
    #endregion

can any tell how to do it through IIS

Thanks In Advance

I am facing the problem that the code is hanging infinitely at calling Bootstrap.bootstrap(). I have tried many solution and the ones suggested here but all in vain.

Additional specification of my working environment: - I am having Windows 7 Ultimate OS - I am using Visual Studio 2008 - The code is written in 3.5 website

The surprising part is that things are working fine in ASP.NET Web Application but giving problem in ASP.NET Web Site.

Please let me know, if I am missing something.

Thanks..

Thanks for your article! Do you have any experience with oo 3.3? After your help the problem is still on. :(

An very dummy question but: what means GAC abbrevation?

Best Regards!

Andris

Thanks in advance

Thank s a lot!!!!

I m still facing the problem as this code works well in my developement environment ASP.Net 2.0 on my machine, But fails to produce report when deployed on web server (IIS).

I would like to thanks if some one provide me complete code of this for Visual Studio 2005 to produce reports in scalc.

code line is XComponentContext oStrap = uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap() ;

please help

I used Visual Studio 2008 and my .NET-Programm was a Windows-Service with his own app.config-File. My first and fatal step during my tests was, that i changed the .NET-runtime in my project-properties to .NET 2.0 . Therefore VS2008 inserted ohne row in my app.config-File, which tells my program, to use .NET 2.0 at runtime.

After i read this article, i changed the .NET-runtime to .NET 3.5 and it don’t run. I don’t realize, that this single line in my app.config-File wasn’t removed and therefore my program used .NET 2.0 at runtime anymore.

When i realized this line and removed it, so that my program used realy .NET 3.5, in runs perfect!

I’m not sure which part of the .Net Framework 3.5 is required.
Best is to test thoroughly.

Developing .Net applications with OpenOffice 3 now requires that the .Net framework 3.5 be installed.

I have a client, which is using .NET 2.0, it manages to work with OOo 3.0. Is it a requirement of OOo itself -- to have .NET 3.5 installed or just a typo? I made no tests on a machine without fw 3.5.

(B) In IIS Server it not produce the file and processing goes endless. Not produce any error / exception.

(C) When wait long for localhost it shows “An un handeled exception(System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException) occured in aspnet_wp.exp”

=================== What I have done. OpenOffice 3.o

1. Added the TblProc.dll as reference in my project.

2. five cli_ files are in GAC Excluding cli_uno.dll file.

give HResult error when add cli_uno.dll as reference so not added in project and it is not

in GAC and in VS Server without it producing file.

Please suggest what I do to resolve this issue.
