A Range that provides the bounds for the control.

The name of the control that can be used to index the control in the ControlCollection instance.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.DataGridView
The DataGridView control that was added to the ControlCollection instance.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The name or range argument is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), or the name argument has zero length.
ControlNameAlreadyExistsException	A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.
InvalidRangeException	The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Remarks

The AddDataGridView method enables you to add DataGridView objects to the end of the ControlCollection. To remove a DataGridView that was previously added programmatically, use the Remove method.

The control automatically resizes when the range is resized.

Examples

The following code example adds a DataGridView control to cells A1 through D9, and then adds two columns to the control.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddDataGridView()

    Dim DataGridView1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
        Controls.DataGridView = Me.Controls. _
        AddDataGridView(Me.Range("A1", "D9"), _
        "DataGridView1")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("firsName", "First Name")
    DataGridView1.Columns.Add("lastName", "Last Name")

End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddDataGridView()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.DataGridView
        dataGridView1 = this.Controls.AddDataGridView(
        this.Range["A1", "D9"], "dataGridView1");
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add("firsName", "First Name");
    dataGridView1.Columns.Add("lastName", "Last Name");
}
