asp.net Office Automation - in or out of process

[David Laub]

When I use Office Automation in an asp.net application, are the Office
libraries invoked in or out of process?

Thanks

When you automate any executible (as opposed to a DLL) it will always
run out of process.

So, would I gain performance by accessing the Excel spreadsheet data using
ADO?

Thanks again

Hi David,

For a server application my first reaction is definitely. You just can't
say for sure until you test it both ways, though.
