Guys

I was trying to invoke a back ground process (mutli threaded env) from asp.net webservice in which excel object is used to calculate basing on define excel formula's. below is the code...


public

 

void SubmitBatchForPayrollProcessing(Int32 batchId)
{
 


//Spawn different thread and then return .....To have the tax processing done in background
 

this.batchId = batchId;
 


ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(ProcessPayrollForBatch));
}

In turn ProcessPayrollForBatch function invokes excel object

this.exelProcessor = new ExcelProcessor();

I'm getting below error

An unhandled exception occurred and the process was terminated.

Application ID: /LM/W3SVC/1/Root/PayrollService
Process ID: 2448
Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Message: Microsoft Office Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space.
• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.

---------------------

If I invoke excel object in a single thread env it was running as expected, but if I multi thread env I was getting above error.

Can any one help on this ?
