Question

I’m trying to write to a specific cell in a Google spreadsheet using C# without having to search every single cell and see if it is the right cell. For example, I don’t want to have to search to see if “A1” is in the title of all the cells in a worksheet in order to write to A1. In other programming languages (python) I’ve found plenty of examples of how to do this, but I can’t find the same methods in C#. How can I do something like:

cell[1,1].value = "JoMama";

/// <summary>
    /// Updates a single cell in the specified worksheet.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="service">an authenticated SpreadsheetsService object</param>
    /// <param name="entry">the worksheet to update</param>
    private static void UpdateCell(SpreadsheetsService service, WorksheetEntry entry)
    {
        AtomLink cellFeedLink = entry.Links.FindService(GDataSpreadsheetsNameTable.CellRel, null);
        CellQuery query = new CellQuery(cellFeedLink.HRef.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine();

        Console.Write("Row of cell to update? ");
        string row = Console.ReadLine();

        Console.Write("Column of cell to update? ");
        string column = Console.ReadLine();

        query.MinimumRow = query.MaximumRow = uint.Parse(row);
        query.MinimumColumn = query.MaximumColumn = uint.Parse(column);

        CellFeed feed = service.Query(query);
        CellEntry cell = feed.Entries[0] as CellEntry;

        Console.WriteLine();
        Console.WriteLine("Current cell value: {0}", cell.Cell.Value);
        Console.Write("Enter a new value: ");
        string newValue = Console.ReadLine();

        cell.Cell.InputValue = newValue;
        AtomEntry updatedCell = cell.Update();

        Console.WriteLine("Successfully updated cell: {0}", updatedCell.Content.Content);
    }
