Visual Studio uses PIAs (primary interop assemblies which you can embed in 4). I would like Excel loaded on my development machine if I am developing for excel.

>>>Hi.
>>>I am looking at the best way to do Excel automaton with c#
>>>Seen GemBox ($500 per developer license) which looks good from their web site, they say its fast, and you dont need Excel loaded.
>>>Just wondering if any folks here have used GemBox or alternatives

>>I didn't use a 3rd party tool to do that and I don't see a need to do so. Why don't you simply do it yourself. Automating Excel using C# is easy using VSTO and it has been made easier in .Net 4. Did you check VS2010 beta or RC and training materials about it.
