循环浏览Excel工作簿，从每个工作簿复制一定范围的单元格并粘贴到主工作簿

Question

HI: I am so glad you all are out there because what should be so easy appears not to be for me.

Background: I am trying to use C# to open an Excel Workbook (using OpenFileDialog to select it - called "Gradebook"). Then I loop through multiple Excel workbooks (in a folder I select with FolderBrowserDialog - which saves the filenames in a string[]). I wish to open each workbook one by one, extract a range of data from each workbook and paste it in the "Gradebook". So far capturing the filenames in the array is working and so is the ability to select single workbook and open it.

The Question: I am having problems with the foreach statement. As I loop through the workbooks, the line: Excel.Workbook stdWorkbook = excelApp.Workbooks.Open(stdFile) has an error: "the name stdFile does not exist in the context".

Also, I am rather new to programming and seem to be having problems finding anything that explains interop with Excel and C# in simple enough terms for me to understand. I would greatly appreciate any direction to a good source.

Answer 1

foreach (string stdFile in fileNames);

The semi-colon at the end of this line terminates the statement immediately, so stdFile is not available in the code further down. Remove the semi-colon.
