Which language will be suitable for excel programming

[to_rgoyal]

Hi friends,
I want to make a tool, which can be used to read data from excel
spread sheets and apply data validation rules on columns. I also want
to do mapping of data from one excel sheet to another excel sheet by
using this application.
Can anyone suggest me which language will be suitable to make a
application for this purpose.At present, I am comfortable with VC++.
But I can work in C# or VC++.net also.

Thanks and regards,
Rachit

Either language can be used. You may want to check out VSTO (Visual studio
tools for Office) that *should* give you help using Excel through those
languages.

Can this application not be built in VBA though? Does it specifically need
the C# or C++ wrapper?
