Remarks

A Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Workbook object provides the same members as a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook object from the Excel primary interop assembly, but it adds the following features:

In application-level projects, you can create Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Workbook objects programmatically by using the GetVstoObject method. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in Application-Level Add-ins at Run Time.

In document-level projects, you typically do not use Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Workbook objects directly. Instead, use the ThisWorkbook class to programmatically access the workbook in your project. The ThisWorkbook class derives most of its members from the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.WorkbookBase class. This class redirects all calls to its members to an internal implementation of the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Workbook interface in the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. For more information, see Programming Document-Level Customizations.

Note

This interface is implemented by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. It is not intended to be implemented in your code. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime Overview.

Usage

This documentation describes the version of this type that is used in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 and the .NET Framework 4.5. In projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, this type might have different members and the code examples provided for this type might not work. For documentation about this type in projects that target the .NET Framework 3.5, see the following reference section in the Visual Studio 2008 documentation: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=160658.
