Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange = _
Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1", "C5"), _
"columnDifferencesRange")
Me.Range("B1", "C3").Value2 = 22
Me.Range("B4", "C5").Value2 = 11
Dim range2 As Excel.Range = _
columnDifferencesRange.ColumnDifferences(Me.Range("B5"))
range2.Select()
End Sub
private void ShowColumnDifferences()
{
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange columnDifferencesRange =
this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A1", "C5"],
"columnDifferencesRange");
this.Range["B1", "C3"].Value2 = 22;
this.Range["B4", "C5"].Value2 = 11;
