Question

Using .NET’s Office interop libraries, does anybody know the best way to convert back and forth between strings (eg “A57”, “$L$2:$M:$3”) and corresponding objects of type Excel.Range?

Bonus points if it also works with “named ranges”.

Answer 1

Use the Range property of a Worksheet object, and pass Type.Missing as the second parameter.

For example:

Range range = sheet.get_Range("$L$2:$M:$3", Type.Missing);

This also supports named ranges.
