howto open a file excel 2002 with c# and office 2007 libraries?

[spile]

Hi,
when i try to print through c# and Office 2007 library
"Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" a xls created with an older version of
program (for example excel 2002-2003), the system raise the following error:
{"Old format or invalid type library. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80028018
(TYPE_E_INVDATAREAD))"}

Can i reference more libraries that have the same namespace name?
or How can to do it?

I would recommend you to try Aspose.Cells for .NET Library for opening excel files in c#. You can get sample codes from their documentation page and many more code sample that you can use in your API. Below is the link of this library. Best of luck.
