You use a similar process to refer to the contents of a NamedRange control or a native Excel range object.

Applies to: The information in this topic applies to document-level projects and VSTO Add-in projects for Excel. For more information, see Features available by Office application and project type.

Use a NamedRange control

The following example adds a NamedRange to a worksheet and then adds text to the cell in the range.

To refer to a NamedRange control

  1. Assign a string to the Value2 property of the NamedRange control. This code must be placed in a sheet class, not in the ThisWorkbook class.

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange NamedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.get_Range("A1"), "NamedRange1");
    
    NamedRange1.Value2 = "Range value";
    
    Dim NamedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange = _
        Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1"), "NamedRange1")
    
    NamedRange1.Value2 = "Range value"
    

Use native Excel ranges

The following example adds a native Excel range to a worksheet and then adds text to the cell in the range.

To refer to a native range object

  1. Assign a string to the Value2 property of the range.

    Excel.Range rng = this.Application.get_Range("A1");
    
    rng.Value2 = "Range value";
    
    Dim rng As Excel.Range = Me.Application.Range("A1")
    
    rng.Value2 = "Range value"
