This example is for a document-level customization.

Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange parentNameRange;
private void DisplayParentName()
{
    parentNameRange = this.Controls.AddNamedRange(
         this.Range["B2"], "parentNameRange");
    parentNameRange.Select();
    Excel.Worksheet parentSheet = 
        (Excel.Worksheet)this.parentNameRange.Parent;
    MessageBox.Show("The NamedRange is in worksheet: " + 
        parentSheet.Name);
}

Private parentNameRange As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange

Private Sub DisplayParentName()
    parentNameRange = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange( _
        Me.Range("B2"), "parentNameRange")
    parentNameRange.Select()
    Dim parentSheet As Excel.Worksheet = _
        CType(Me.parentNameRange.Parent, Excel.Worksheet)
    MessageBox.Show("The NamedRange is in worksheet: " & _
        parentSheet.Name)
End Sub
