[Excel, C#2005] Getting Cell From CellName

I'm using the Excel Interop to input a number of strings into cells. The cells can change depending on the excel "template" I open.

The cell names are constant however: the template file will always have a number of input cells with specific names.

What I need to do (In Visual C#, 2005) is get the specific cell in the worksheet from a name I specify in the code, and change it's value.

So far I have the following set up:

Code:

---

Excel.Application oXLApp = new Excel.Application();
            oXLApp.Visible = true;
            Excel.Workbook oXLBook = oXLApp.Workbooks.Open(
              Application.StartupPath + "\\Template1.xls",
              openFileDialog1.FileName, 0, true, 5,
              "", "", true, Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows, "\t", false, false,
              0, true);
            Excel.Worksheet oSht = (Excel.Worksheet)oXLBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);

From there I'm not sure where to go. Any help would be appreciated.

It's probably easier if you give us an example of what you mean by

what's the name you specify in the code? how is the name related to the worksheet?

i guess this should work, assuming the cell name is a defined named range
osht.Range("myname").Value = 123

Sorry guys: what I meant was something like this (see attachment).

Rather than specifying (in code) that I'd like to input a string into Cell[2,2], I'd like to specify Cell["INPUT1"].
"INPUT1" could be any cell in the file.

did you try the code i posted, it should do what you want, change "myname" to "input1"

I show how to access a specific cell (1, 1) in the example procedure "btnOpen_Click"
