Get sheet name from a named range's Name object

Question

I have:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook wb;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Name name;

Is there any way to get the worksheet name that the named range is on in the given workbook, assuming I've gotten the named range's Name object and wb already?

Answer 1

Range.Worksheet is a self-documenting alternative to Range.Parent:

string wsName = name.RefersToRange.Worksheet.Name;

(Or in 2 steps:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet ws = name.RefersToRange.Worksheet;
string wsName = ws.Name;

)

Answer 2

wb.Names(name).RefersToRange.Parent.Name

Answer 3

Yes, use the Parent property to work your way up the object hierarchy:

ws = name.RefersToRange.Parent.name;
