Workbook.Open returns error when opening custom OpenXML Excel file in .NET

Hi guys,

I've started developing with Apose.Cells and all works well, though I have struck an unusual error.
I am building an excel file using the OpenXML SDK which works fine.
I can open the file in Excel2007 without a problem, the data is there.

But if I try to use Apose.Cells to open the file specifying FileFormatType.Excel2007Xlsx (or not), I get an error (stack trace pasted below).
However, if I open the file in Excel2007 and save it first (making no changes), the file will then open OK.

This leads me to believe I am missing something when I create my OpenXML doc that Excel is automatically adding.

Is anyone able to tell me the specific XML part or node I need to add to my excel doc to get it working?
(I have looked at the internal xml parts of the xlsx doc, but there doesnt seem to be anything obvious)

I have also attached a copy of the unprocessed file.

Cheers,
Josh

I’ve put the updated dll in the Bin folder of my project, but I still get the same error!
I dont have to install it anywhere else?

Hi Josh,

Please make sure that you are using the latest fix that we have provided you. I think you just need to download the fix (that Nausherwan attached in previous post) to save to some folder. Now, in VS.NET project, you may simply remove the older Aspose.Cells component's reference and then add reference to the new Aspose.Cells.dll (fix). Now re-build and run the project, it should work fine. I have tested your issue with your template file and it works fine.

Thank you.

Hi thanks for the quick response Amjad,

I’ve updated my references but still no luck

Just to test I just downloaded the sample I initially sent you and it worked ok so I’m not sure if I sent you a defective file in the first place!

I think I must be going crazy, I have re-created a new file which definitely gives the error which I have attached here.

Could you please test this one with and confirm it works ok

Remember you cant open it with regular excel first otherwise it gets 'fixed’

Thanks for your time

Cheers,
Josh

Sorry to bump this, but is there any update on this?
I have to demo my project to the client tmrw, hoping to show this functionality too!
