C＃“未处理COMException”

Question

VS is showing me an error when I run my program, it starts fine and the datagrid is populated with info from my Access DB file, but when the DoWork button is triggered i'm seeing the following error on line 37 ws.Cells[1, 0] = "Act";

An exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code

 Additional information: Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC

Answer 1

It seems, that this error because excel has non-zero based row and column numbering. You need to change

ws.Cells[1, 0] = "Act";

as

ws.Cells[1, 1] = "Act";

And change the numeration of other cells.

I have not actually find it (non-zero numbering) at official documentation, so this is only based on my experience of working with excel.

Related answer on SuperUser - Which Excel objects are zero-based and which are one-based?

Collections - 1-based index
...
Excel collections: Workbooks, Sheets, Ranges, Shapes

ws.Cells returns the Range object.
