Using a NamedRange Control

This example uses a NamedRange control named message. The control must be added to a document-level customization at design time. The following code must be placed in a sheet class, not in the ThisWorkbook class.

To display text in a NamedRange control

Set the value of the NamedRange control to Hello World.
C#
VB
Copy
this.message.Value2 = "Hello world";

Using a Native Excel Range

The following code creates a new range programmatically and then assigns a value to it.

To display text in an Excel range

Retrieve the range at cell A1 on Sheet1 and set the value to Hello World.

Excel.Range rng = Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1"];
rng.Value2 = "Hello world";
