This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub DisplayPrecedents()
        Me.Range("A1").Value2 = 1710

        Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
            = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("C1"), _
            "namedRange1")
        namedRange1.Value2 = "=A1"
        namedRange1.ShowPrecedents(False)
    End Sub

private void DisplayPrecedents()
{
    this.Range["A1"].Value2 = 1710;

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["C1"],
        "namedRange1");
    namedRange1.Value2 = "=A1";
    namedRange1.ShowPrecedents(false);
