Private Sub DisplayPrecedents()
Me.Range("A1").Value2 = 1710
Dim namedRange1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange _
= Me.Controls.AddNamedRange(Me.Range("C1"), _
"namedRange1")
namedRange1.Value2 = "=A1"
namedRange1.ShowPrecedents(False)
End Sub
private void DisplayPrecedents()
{
this.Range["A1"].Value2 = 1710;
Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange namedRange1 =
this.Controls.AddNamedRange(this.Range["C1"],
