One of our laboratories retrieves data from an old particle size analyzer program using, I believe, DDE. The data is written to an Excel spreadsheet. For instance, to retrieve the mean value (selmv), one cell's formula is
=mtwin|summarydata!selmv
I have read several posts that I should not try to use DDE (nor the free library NDde) with .NET.
How should I retrieve this and other data from this program using .NET?
NDde worked well with this MTWIN program and was simple to implement. Thanks to Brian Gideon for this excellent library.
