I have created a C# Winforms app and on Windows 7, as I populate my excel sheet (via Microsoft Outlook 15.0 Object Library), the sheet opens and you can see it being populated, and then it closes as I programmatically close the object. I do not what the excel sheet to appear as it's being populated.
The excel sheet does not appear when I run it in visual studio on my windows 2008 server. It only appears on Windows 7 (64 bit). I've tried the following (and here is my code to create the objects. I have excel 2013 64-bit on the Windows 7 (where the sheet shows) box and the server(where the excel sheet does not show). Any ideas?(I tried all the solutions here: Hide Excel 2013 while programmatic change a workbook) with no luck :
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
Excel.Application xlApp;
Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook;
Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet;
//Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet2;
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
xlApp = new Excel.Application();
try
{
// This was added to try to hide, but no dice
// Must be surrounded by try catch to work.

xlApp.Visible = false;
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = false;
}
catch (Exception )
{
//Console.WriteLine("-------Error hiding the application-------");
//Console.WriteLine("Occured error might be: " + e.StackTrace);
}
xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add(misValue);
xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet)xlWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
