A control with the same name is already in the ControlCollection instance.
InvalidRangeException

The range that was specified is not valid. Multi-area ranges cannot be used. The range should be on the same worksheet as the ControlCollection instance.

Examples

The following code example adds a CheckBox control to cell A1, and then adds text to the check box.

Private Sub ExcelRangeAddCheckBox()

    Dim checkBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
        Controls.CheckBox = Me.Controls.AddCheckBox( _
        Me.Range("A1"), "checkBox1")
    checkBox1.Text = "Underline" 

End Sub

private void ExcelRangeAddCheckBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.CheckBox checkBox1 =
        this.Controls.AddCheckBox(this.Range["A1", missing], 
        "checkBox1");
    checkBox1.Text = "Underline";
