This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub AddName()
    Dim name1 As Excel.Name = _
        Me.Names.Add("Microsoft", Me.Range("A1"), _
            True, ShortcutKey:="Ctrl-R")

    ' Show Define Name dialog to verify that the Name was added.
    Me.Application.Dialogs(Excel.XlBuiltInDialog.xlDialogDefineName).Show()
End Sub
private void AddName()
{
    Excel.Name name1 = this.Names.Add("Microsoft",
        this.Range["A1", missing], true, missing, "Ctrl-R",
        missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing);

    // Show Define Name dialog to verify that the Name was added.
    this.Application.Dialogs[Excel.XlBuiltInDialog.xlDialogDefineName].Show(
        missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing,
        missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing,
        missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing,
