Hello,
I installed a hotfix 2059, and was surprised to find that one of the assemblies now has Infragistics3 in its name (Infragistics3.Win.UltraWinGrid.ExcelExport.v8.3).
That would be just a curiosity, but it seems that Workbook from Infragistics2.Excel.v8.3 is not compatible with this assembly.
Is this a know problem, or am I misunderstanding the situation?
Should I use some bug tracking system?
Thanks in advance,
Andris Birkmanis
That's quite possible that I had the same problem before installing the hotfix, so it is just a coincidence that I started looking at Excel export on the same day as I installed the fix.
I was also confused by Infragistics Bin directory contents, as the only assembly with Infragistics3 in its name is ExcelExport.
Now that I took a look at GAC, it has Infragistics3 version of both Excel and ExcelExport, so when I add references to compatible version of these assemblies, everything works.
Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.

Also note that there is an Infragistics2 version of the same assembly installed with the product and the hot fix, also. So you can still use the CLR2 version if you want. But you won't be able to export to Excel2007 format without a lot more coding.
Andris,
This assembly should have been installed prior to the hotfix, since it was introduced with the 8.3 release. In a nutshell, the 'Infragistic3' assemblies provide support for the Office2007 Excel format, since they leverage some of the functionality provided in the .NET 3.0 framework in order to support the compression used. You should not have any trouble in the workbooks used with the two formats (though if you use the 'Infragistics3' version of the ExcelExport, you should also use Infragistics3.Excel). What is the exact problem that you're having?
