Examples
The following code example displays the value of the MergeArea and MergeCells properties before and after merging a range that contains an XmlMappedRange. This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell that is in one of the cells from cell B2 to B5.
Private Sub SetMergeArea()
Dim range1 As Excel.Range = Me.Range("B2", "B5")
Dim beforeMergeAddress As String = _
CustomerLastNameCell.MergeArea.Address( _
ReferenceStyle:=Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1)
MsgBox("Before merging, the MergeArea property is '" & _
beforeMergeAddress & "' and the MergeCells property is " & _
" '" + CustomerLastNameCell.MergeCells.ToString() & "'.")
range1.Select()
range1.Merge(False)
Dim afterMergeAddress As String = _
CustomerLastNameCell.MergeArea.Address( _
ReferenceStyle:=Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1)
MsgBox("After merging, the MergeArea property is '" & _
afterMergeAddress & "' and the MergeCells property is " & _
" '" + CustomerLastNameCell.MergeCells.ToString() & "'.")
End Sub
private void SetMergeArea()
{
Excel.Range range1 = this.Range["B2", "B5"];
string beforeMergeAddress =
CustomerLastNameCell.MergeArea.get_Address(
missing, missing, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1,
missing, missing);
MessageBox.Show("Before merging, the MergeArea property is '" +
beforeMergeAddress + "' and the MergeCells property is " +
" '" + CustomerLastNameCell.MergeCells.ToString() + "'.");
range1.Select();
range1.Merge(false);
string afterMergeAddress =
CustomerLastNameCell.MergeArea.get_Address(
missing, missing, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1,
missing, missing);
MessageBox.Show("After merging, the MergeArea property is '" +
afterMergeAddress + "' and the MergeCells property is " +
" '" + CustomerLastNameCell.MergeCells.ToString() + "'.");
