string file = path + Session.SessionID + ".xls";

Aspose.Cells.License lic = new Aspose.Cells.License();

lic.SetLicense(lic_path);

Workbook book1 = new Workbook();

Workbook book2 = new Workbook();

try

{

book1.Open(doc1);

book2.Open(doc2);

book1.Combine(book2);

book1.Save(file);

}

Hi Vijay,

The problem may be caused by that your two files have same worksheet name. I will check and fix this issue in the start of next week. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Laurence,

I have made sure that the file names of the two files are different by adding "pg1" and "pg2" respectively at the end of the file names. I appreciate for the quick response. Have a nice weekend.. i will be waiting for the fix.

Thanks

Hey Laurence,

Quick question, what is the max lenght for the file name, currently my file name has 28 characters "5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg1.xls" and "5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg2.xls" is there any limitation for the file length, please let me know, so that i can look into the code to fix it.

Thanks

Vijay

Hi Vijay,

Well, I think there is no problem with your file names or their size. I tested a bit, there is no problem with Workbook.Combine method as it works fine.

Could you please post your both template files here. So, that we may check and figure out the issue.

Thank you.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the template files.

As Laurence told you that the problem may be caused by that your two files have same worksheet name. I checked the two files you posted i.e., "5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg1.xls" and "5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg2". Both templates have a worksheet named "Sheet1", So you must change the worksheet name of any workbook before combining them.

Following is my code which works fine:

const String temp1 = @"d:\test\5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg1.xls";
const String temp2 = @"d:\test\5roaef2cm1epy5alkxgunoqo_pg2.xls";
FileStream fs = new FileStream(temp1, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);
Workbook wb1 = new Workbook();
wb1.Open(fs, FileFormatType.Default);
Workbook wb2 = new Workbook(); ;
wb2.Open(temp2);
wb2.Worksheets[0].Name = "MySheet";
wb1.Combine(wb2);
wb1.Worksheets.ActiveSheetIndex = 0;
wb1.Save("d:\\test\\output_firstsecond.xls", FileFormatType.Default);

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, please try the above fix which Warren attached in this thread.

Thank you.

Due to the versioning and licensing issue, it will only work if you can get me the fix for 4.1.1.8 instead of a 4.4.0.2. Please advice.

Thanks,
Michael
