The WorksheetBase class is the base class for the Sheetn classes in document-level Excel projects created by using Visual Studio. Use the Sheetn classes to programmatically access the worksheets in your project. The WorksheetBase class is a host item that represents a worksheet in document-level projects. For more information, see Host Items and Host Controls Overview and Worksheet Host Item.
The WorksheetBase class provides the same members as the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel::Worksheet class in the Excel primary interop assembly, but it adds the following features:
Controls property. Use this property to add managed controls to an Excel worksheet, or to remove controls, at run time.
InnerObject property. Use this property to get the underlying Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel::Worksheet object for a worksheet host item.
GetAutomationObject method. Override this method to expose a class in your project to VBA code in the worksheet.
Document-level events, such as ActivateEvent and Change, that are provided only at the application level in the Excel object model. That is, in the Excel object model, these events are defined in the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel::Application class rather than the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel::Worksheet class.
You cannot create WorksheetBase objects programmatically in Office projects.
In document-level projects, the Sheetn classes (which derive from WorksheetBase) are instantiated automatically by the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime when the end user opens the workbook. For more information, see Programming Document-Level Customizations.
In application-level projects, you can create worksheet host items programmatically by using the GetVstoObject method. The worksheet host item you create is a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel::Worksheet object, rather than a WorksheetBase object. For more information, see Extending Word Documents and Excel Workbooks in VSTO Add-ins at Run Time.
This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4 or later. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.
Any public static ( Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
