Gets the range reference for the NamedRange control in the language of the user.

Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
ReadOnly Property AddressLocal As NamedRange_AddressLocalType

NamedRange_AddressLocalType AddressLocal { get; }

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange_AddressLocalType
A string that represents the range reference of the NamedRange control in the language of the user and in R1C1-stye or A1-style notation.

Remarks

The AddressLocal property is intended to be used with the following parameters.

Parameter	Description
RowAbsolute	true to return the row as an absolute reference. The default value is true.
ColumnAbsolute	true to return the column as an absolute reference. The default value is true.
ColumnAbsolute	One of the XlReferenceStyle values.
External	true to return an external reference; false to return a local reference. The default value is false.
RelativeTo	A Range that defines the starting point. If RowAbsolute and ColumnAbsolute are false, and ReferenceStyle is xlR1C1, you must include a starting point for the relative reference.

If you attempt to use AddressLocal without specifying any parameters, AddressLocal will get a NamedRange_AddressLocalType object that is part of the Visual Studio infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

If the reference contains more than one cell, RowAbsolute and ColumnAbsolute apply to all rows and columns.

Optional Parameters

For information on optional parameters, see Optional Parameters in Office Solutions.

Examples

The following code example creates a NamedRange and then displays the address of the NamedRange in four formats. If the example is run on a system using German language support, the example will display the address strings "$A$2", "$A2", "Z2S2", and "Z[-1]S[-1]".

This version is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub DisplayAddressLocal()
        'Change system settings to German and test this. 
        Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
            = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A2", "C4"), _
            "namedRange1")

        ' The following code will display "$A$2".
        MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal(True, True, _
            Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False, ))

        ' The following code will display "$A2".
        MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal(False, True, _
            Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False, ))

        ' The following code will display "Z2S2".
        MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal(True, True, _
            Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, False, ))

        ' The following code will display "Z[-1]S[-1]".
        MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal(False, False, _
            Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, False, Me.Cells(3, 3)))
    End Sub

private void DisplayAddressLocal()
{
    //Change system settings to German and test this.
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A2", "C4"],
        "namedRange1");

    // The following code will display "$A$2".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal[true,
        true, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false]);

    // The following code will display "$A2".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal[false,
        true, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false]);

    // The following code will display "Z2S2".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal[true,
         true, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, false]);

    // The following code will display "Z[-1]S[-1]".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.AddressLocal[false,
        false, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, false, this.Cells[3, 3]]);
}
