Create Excelsheet
===============
'Bind to the Excel object
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

'Create a new workbook.
objExcel.Workbooks.Add

'Select the first sheet
Sheet = 1

'Bind to worksheet.
Set objSheet = objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(Sheet)

'Name the worksheet
objSheet.Name = "VBS_Excel_Example"

'Set the save location
strExcelPath = "C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Excel POC\generated excel\Vbs_Excel_Example.xlsx"
'--------------------------------------------------------
'Populate the worksheet with data
'--------------------------------------------------------
' objSheet.Cells(row, column).Value = "Whatever"

'Add some titles to row 1
objSheet.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Name" 'Row 1 Column 1 (A)
objSheet.Cells(1, 2).Value = "Description" 'Row 1 Column 2 (B)
objSheet.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Something Else" 'Row 1 Column 3 (C)

'Add some data using a loop
For row = 2 to 10
objSheet.Cells(row, 1).Value = "Item " & row & " Name"
objSheet.Cells(row, 2).Value = "Item " & row & " Description"
objSheet.Cells(row, 3).Value = "Item " & row & " Something Else"
Next

'--------------------------------------------------------
' Format the spreadsheet
'--------------------------------------------------------

'Put the first row in bold
objSheet.Range("A1:C1").Font.Bold = True

'Change the font size of the first row to 14
objSheet.Range("A1:C1").Font.Size = 14

'Freeze the panes
objSheet.Range("A2").Select
objExcel.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

'Change column A and B to use a fixed width
objExcel.Columns(1).ColumnWidth = 20
objExcel.Columns(2).ColumnWidth = 30

'Change column C to autofit
objExcel.Columns(3).AutoFit()

'Change the background colour of column A to a light yellow
objExcel.Columns(1).Interior.ColorIndex = 36

'Change the font colour of column C to blue
objExcel.Columns(3).Font.ColorIndex = 5

'--------------------------------------------------------
' Save the spreadsheet and close the workbook
'--------------------------------------------------------
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs strExcelPath
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close

'Quit Excel

'Clean Up
Set objSheet = Nothing

Update Excelsheet
==================
Const xlShiftToRight = -4161
Const xlup = -4162
'create the excel object
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

'view the excel program and file, set to false to hide the whole process

Set objRange = objExcel.Range("A1").EntireColumn
objRange.Insert(xlShiftToRight)

'Add some titles to row 1
objExcel.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Concatenated Column" 'Row 1 Column 1 (A)

For i = 2 To objExcel.Cells(objExcel.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlup).Row
objExcel.Cells(i, "A").Value = objExcel.Cells(i, "B").Value & "_" & objExcel.Cells(i, "D").Value
Next

'Put the first row in bold

'save the existing excel file. use SaveAs to save it as something else
objWorkbook.Save

'close the workbook

'exit the excel program

'release objects
Set objExcel = Nothing
Set objWorkbook = Nothing

Copy Data from one excel to another
==============================
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

'Set objRange = objWorkSheet.Range("A1").EntireColumn
'Set objRange = objWorkSheet.Range("B1").EntireColumn
'objRange.Copy
Set aCell = objWorksheet.Rows(1).Find("Subnet Name",,,1)

If Not aCell Is Nothing Then
'MsgBox "Value Found in Cell " & aCell.Address & _
'" and the Cell Column Number is " & aCell.Column
Dim colLetter = Replace(objWorkSheet.Cells(1, aCell.Column).Address(False, False), "1", "")
MsgBox(colLetter)
objWorkSheet.Range(colLetter).EntireColumn.Copy
End If

'objWorkSheet.Range("C:D").EntireColumn.Copy

Set objWorksheet2 = objWorkbook2.Worksheets(1)
objWorksheet.Activate

'Set finalcolumn = 1 + objWorksheet2.Cells(1, 1).End(-4161).Column
'MsgBox(objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns(objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns.Count).Column)
'To Find Last Column Letter
'MsgBox Replace(objWorksheet2.Cells(1, objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns(objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns.Count).Column+1).Address(False, False), "1", "")

objWorkSheet2.Paste objWorkSheet2.Range(Replace(objWorksheet2.Cells(1, objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns(objWorksheet2.UsedRange.Columns.Count).Column+1).Address(False, False), "1", "")&"1")

objWorkbook2.Save

'close the workbook
objWorkbook2.Close

How to Create a sample ASP.NET Web Service and retrieve values from the database :

2011-01-04T09:48:00.000-08:00

Step 1:

Create a database table by name

doctormaster(DoctorID,Doctor_Name,Specialist,Gender,Phone as columns)in MSSQL
Server database with some data.
Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2008--->>>File--->>> New--->>>
Web Site--->>>Select ASP.NET Web Service--->>>
Choose language to "visual c#"

Step 2:

In the Service.cs File--->>>
Copy paste the given code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Sql;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
// To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX,

uncomment the following line.
// [System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data

Source=VIJAYVIGNESH\\SQLEXPRESS2008;Initial Catalog=hospital1;Integrated

Security=True");
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
    SqlDataReader dr;
    public Service () {

        //Uncomment the following line if using designed components
        //InitializeComponent();
    }

    [WebMethod]
    public string HelloWorld() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
    [WebMethod]
    public List<Doctor> getDoctorDetails()
    {
        var doclist = new List<Doctor>();
        Doctor doc;
        con.Open();
        cmd.Connection = con;
        cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * from doctormaster";
        dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        while (dr.Read())
        {
            doc = new Doctor
            {
                DoctorID = dr["DoctorID"].ToString(),
                Doctor_Name = dr["Doctor_Name"].ToString(),
                Specialist = dr["Specialist"].ToString(),
                Gender = dr["Gender"].ToString(),
                Phone = dr["Phone"].ToString()
            };
            doclist.Add(doc);
        }
        return doclist;
    }

}
public class Doctor
{
    public string DoctorID = string.Empty;
    public string Doctor_Name = string.Empty;
    public string Specialist = string.Empty;
    public string Gender = string.Empty;
    public string Phone = string.Empty;
}

thats it...!!!!Now you can run the program and click the "getDoctorDetails" Web
Method link in the browser--->>> press invoke.
Output will be in XML Format.Now you can use this web service in any front end
applications.

[Note: Make Your Own Connection String Instead Of "Data

Source=VIJAYVIGNESH\\SQLEXPRESS2008;Initial Catalog=hospital1;Integrated

Security=True"]
