Excel add-ins in C#

My colleague Terry Aney has posted a detailed article on the “fun” he’s had creating Excel add-ins in C# (after migrating from XLAs + VBA).  If you need to make several thousand calls between add-ins and Excel and want to use .NET, you should definitely run some performance comparisons first 🙂

In a related post he discusses source control strategies / workarounds for XLA files.

  2. I’m looking at building an add-in for Excel.. a substantially large application-y one. What are the performance comparisons you’re referring to? Can you give me some more info? I’m trying to decide between C# and VB .net, as it seems Microsoft Sharepoint supports both? (at least it gives code samples for both..?)
