What is the best way of accessing a WCF service from Excel? -


i access wcf service through vba functions/macros in excel (2007 or 2010).

it seems there number of possibilities, each own particular shortcomings. ...

  • microsoft soap toolkit
  • wcf service moniker
  • com interop
  • vsto
  • excel-dna

can advise on best way of doing this?

i don't think there clear-cut answer question; depends bit on want data returned service, how intend deploy solution, , how done vba, opposed .net.
gut feeling vsto right, because gives full-fledged .net project, convenient handle wcf services. assuming trying retrieve data , give user choices pull , how display it, can build user interface (maybe in task pane), , write results excel, while writing code in visual studio.
however, mentioned vba, , not quite sure how want use it. found exceldna easier use if want create vba user-defined function calls .net dll. if vba want focus on, may way go.
hope helps!
