Excel not Visible - c#

I am opening an existing Excel file with following process:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application excel = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
excel.Visible = true;
Workbook w = excel.Workbooks.Open(#"E:\ishu\Test.xlsx"
, Type.Missing,
true, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing);
Worksheet ws = (Worksheet)w.Worksheets[1];
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range xlRange = ws.UsedRange;
excel.Visible = true;
Excel process gets started in task manager but no Excel window get visible.

This probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but my application uses
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(ExcelFileToOpen);
The above is run only when the Excel file exists.

Block Excel Column using C#

I am developing a windows form application using C#. In this application the user will click a button then the program will copy some columns and rows from the clipboard and past them on a new excel workbook where user can edit the information.
In Excel, I want to block one column only which is the ID such that the user can edit all cells except
that column because this column is system generated. I am not able to get it working. below is my code
DataObject dataObj = null;
dataGridView1.SelectAll(); // copying data to clipboard
dataObj = dataGridView1.GetClipboardContent(); //
if (dataObj != null)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObj);
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
xlexcel = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
xlexcel.DisplayFullScreen = true;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range CR = xlWorkSheet.get_Range("A1", "A1");
CR.Select();
xlWorkSheet.PasteSpecial(CR, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, false);
// for example block column A only
xlWorkSheet.Range["A1"].EntireColumn.Style.Locked = true;
// protect the sheet
xlWorkSheet.Protect(Type.Missing, true, true, true,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, true, true, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
My problem is that after running this code and then unprotecting the sheet, the user can still edit column A. Is there a way I can protect only column A from editing?
I am using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel version 15. and .Net Framework 4.5.1
Any help is really appreciated.
Here try this. I don't exactly know where the issue is occurring but this might help.
DataObject dataObj = null;
dataGridView1.SelectAll(); // copying data to clipboard
dataObj = dataGridView1.GetClipboardContent(); //
if (dataObj != null)
Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObj);
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
xlexcel = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
xlexcel.DisplayFullScreen = true;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range CR = xlWorkSheet.get_Range("A1", "A1");
CR.Select();
xlWorkSheet.PasteSpecial(CR, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, false);
// for example unblock columns B - Z only
xlWorkSheet.Range("B1", "Z1").EntireColumn.Locked = false;
// protect the sheet
xlWorkSheet.Protect(Type.Missing, true, true, true,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, true, true, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
This is in no way a perfect solution to all your problems. Especially since I don't quite know how many other columns you plan to use, but this code will leave column A locked and then leave B through Z unlocked. If you have any others questions toss them in the comments.

How to export excel data using XMLMap and EPPlus

I was wondering if someone can assist me in achieving the C# code below in either EPPlus or OpenOffice XML:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
string excelFileName = "Sample.xlsx";
string currentDirectory = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string excelFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(currentDirectory, excelFileName);
app.Workbooks.Open(excelFilePath,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
string xmlContent = string.Empty;
// Use the map (XSD inside the Excel file)
app.ActiveWorkbook.XmlMaps[1].ExportXml(out xmlContent);
app.Workbooks.Close();
Using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application requires installation of Microsoft Office on the server. Is there any way around this other than installing Microsoft Engine?. Basically how to read XMLMap without office.Interop?
Thank you

Remove excel document action pane

We can attach document action pane to any excel file using Developer-> expansion pack-> Microsoft action pane -> attach.
Once the excel is saved and opening it again will have previously stored excel document.
I have an Excel file (refer image) and I wish to remove(detach) document action pane using inter op programming in c#. Is it possible do so?
code snippet :
Application xlApp = null;
try
{
xlApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass();
string versionNo = xlApp.Version;
xlApp.Visible = true;
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAutomationSecurity mso = xlApp.AutomationSecurity;
xlApp.AutomationSecurity = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoAutomationSecurity.msoAutomationSecurityForceDisable;
Workbook newWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(fileName, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
// Here want code to detach document action pane.
}
Try this:
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application.DisplayDocumentActionTaskPane = false;

Exporting excel sheet to xml spread sheet 2003

I'm trying to export an excel sheet into xml spread sheet 2003 in order to apply some xsl on the result xml file ,
so , i have tried to save the sheet i'm working on using XlFormat enum as follows :
Excel.Application app = new Excel.Application();
Excel.Workbook workbook;
Excel.Worksheet NwSheet;
workbook = app.Workbooks.Open(#"C:\file.xlsx",
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing,
Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
NwSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)workbook.Sheets.get_Item(1);
string outfile = #"c:\temp.xml";
NwSheet.SaveAs(outfile, Excel.XlFileFormat.xlXMLSpreadsheet, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing, Type.Missing);
This code generated an xml file with the following problems :
1-cells of type date are generated as :
2011-10-10T00:00:00.000 , i want it to be 10/10/2011 exactly as it was in the excel sheet so how can i access to these cell's types in order to change them ??
2-numbers as 8.2 were generated as 8.1999999999999993 why did that happen and how can i get it just as is it in the excel sheet
i guess both are faces of the same problem , i just need the data as it appears in the excel sheet.
