The following code example sets the value 5 in cell A1, and then uses the AutoFill method to automatically fill cells A1 through A20 with the value in cell A1.

This example is for a document-level customization.

    Private Sub SetAutoRange()
        Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
            = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A1"), _
            "namedRange1")

        namedRange1.Value2 = 5
        namedRange1.AutoFill(Me.Range("A1", "A20"), _
            Excel.XlAutoFillType.xlFillDefault)
    End Sub

private void SetAutoRange()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A1", missing],
        "namedRange1");

    namedRange1.Value2 = 5;
    namedRange1.AutoFill(this.Range["A1", "A20"],
