Hey all.

Looking for an easy way to latch onto an instance of Excel through C#.

All the "stuff" I've googled suggests that using C# to hook into an existing instance of Excel is rather messy... Using VB.NET appears much easier... there's even a way to reference a VB assembly to make C# referencing a lot easier.

But, am really interested in doing this in pure C#... thx for reading!
