Hi happybai,
Which VS version did you use? I test it in my VS2013 version, it works well.
If you test the same project in other VS machine, how about the result? If it works well in other VS machine, we could make sure that it is not your project issue. Maybe you could create a simple app, test it again.
If all projects have the same issue, I doubt that it is your VS IDE issue.
Please make sure that you install the latest update package for your VS, like sp1 for VS2010, update 4 for VS2013 or other, of course, you would think about your current VS version.
Please also make sure that it is not your Excel issue, for example, please make sure that you could open an excel file in your windows.
You'd better run your VS in safe mode to make sure that it is not the VS add-ins or extension tools' issue.

Anyway, we need to make sure that whether it is the project or the VS IDE issue or others firstly.
