Save as HTML throws exception when cell as a file reference

Aspose.Cells Product Family

The attached file throws an exception when I try and save it as HTML. It works fine if I re-save it as XLSX. If you edit the cell in Excel and hit return in the cell so that it becomes an HTTP link, rather than a file, then the save will work.

The example code would be:

        Workbook workbook = new Workbook("FinalresponseCutDown.xslx");

        try
        {
            string baseFileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(excelFile);
            string excelFileExt = Path.GetExtension(excelFile);
            string htmlFile = outputDir + baseFileName + ".html";
            // This will fail
            workbook.Save(htmlFile, SaveFormat.Html);

            using (MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
            {
                // So will this, if the previous save is commented out.
                workbook.Save(memoryStream, Aspose.Cells.SaveFormat.Html);
            }

        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("Failed to save: " + ex.ToString());
        }
        finally
        {
            workbook = null;
        }

Thanks,

@bsant,

Thanks for the template file and sample code segment.

After an initial test, I am able to reproduce the issue as you mentioned by using your sample code with your template file. I found that saving as HTML throws exception “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when a cell has a file reference in the sheet. I have logged a ticket with an id “CELLSNET-46941” for your issue. We will look into it soon.

Once we have an update on it, we will let you know.

Thanks, that worked. I presume it will be included in the next release that’s added to NuGet, correct?
