Property Value

NamedRange_AddressType

A string that represents the range reference of the NamedRange control in R1C1-stye or A1-style notation.

Examples

The following code example creates a NamedRange and then displays the address of the NamedRange in four formats.

This version is for a document-level customization.

private void DisplayAddress()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
        this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["A2","C4"],
        "namedRange1");

    // The following code will display "$A$2:$C$4".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address[true, true,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false]);

    // The following code will display "$A2:$C4".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address[false, true,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, false]);

    // The following code will display "R2C1:R4C3".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address[true, true,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, false]);

    // The following code will display "R[-1]C[-2]:R[1]C".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address[false, false,
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, false, this.Cells[3, 3]]);
}

Private Sub DisplayAddress()
    Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
        = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("A2", "C4"), _
        "namedRange1")

    ' The following code will display "$A$2:$C$4".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address(True, True, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False, ))

    ' The following code will display "$A2:$C4".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address(False, True, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, False, ))

    ' The following code will display "R2C1:R4C3".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address(True, True, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, False, ))

    ' The following code will display "R[-1]C[-2]:R[1]C".
    MessageBox.Show(namedRange1.Address(False, False, _
        Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlR1C1, False, Me.Cells(3, 3)))
End Sub

This version is for an application-level add-in.

Remarks

The Address property is intended to be used with the following parameters.

Parameter	Description
`RowAbsolute`	`true` to return the row as an absolute reference. The default value is `true`.
`ColumnAbsolute`	`true` to return the column as an absolute reference. The default value is `true`.
`ColumnAbsolute`	One of the XlReferenceStyle values.
`External`	`true` to return an external reference; `false` to return a local reference. The default value is `false`.
`RelativeTo`	A Range that defines the starting point. If `RowAbsolute` and `ColumnAbsolute` are `false`, and `ReferenceStyle` is xlR1C1, you must include a starting point for the relative reference.

If you attempt to use Address without specifying any parameters, Address will get a NamedRange_AddressType object that is part of the Visual Studio infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

If the reference contains more than one cell, RowAbsolute and ColumnAbsolute apply to all rows and columns.

Optional Parameters
