When you map an XML element to a cell in Microsoft Office Excel, Visual Studio Tools for Office automatically adds an XmlMappedRange control to your worksheet.
Note
The XmlMappedRange control is not available on the Toolbox or the Data Sources window. Additionally, you cannot create XmlMappedRange controls programmatically.
To add an XMLMappedRange control to a worksheet

- For Excel 2003 projects, on the Data menu, point to Microsoft Office Excel Data, point to XML, and then click XML Source.
Note
If Microsoft Office Excel Data is not available in the Data menu, click the document to give it focus.
- For Excel 2007 projects, on the Developer tab, click Source.
Note
If the Developer tab is not visible on the Ribbon, you must enable it. For more information, see How to: Show the Developer Tab on the Ribbon.
