Default reading cells by name/definition

I don't do .Net stuff, but what is the connection between these 2 pices of
code ?
And the subject ?

String s
s=xlsheet1.Range(Chr(71) & j).Formula
xlsheet2.Range(Chr(67) & 1).Value=s
xlsheet2.Range(Chr(68) & 1).Value=xlsheet1.Range(s).Value

+++++++++++++++++++

the exception is thrown at the last line

System.Runtime.InterOpServices.COMException....... .
at Excel._Wroksheet.get_Range(Object Cell1, Object Cell2)

thanks for the reply bob. but for some reason it is not working
exception thrown refers to this method
excel.worksheet.getrange(object cell1, object cell2)

I am passing the cell name as string to the range method

Which you didn't mention in your post.

It works, it must be your code somewhere.

i tried it and it generated an exception citing problems with
"getrange" method

just wish to know is it possible to access a cell content by its
name?

Hello all,
just wish to know is it possible to read excel cells by their
name
instead of cell reference.

i.e. instead of using xlsheet.range(A4).value, can i use
xlsheet.range("my_given_name").value
where A4 is named as my_given_name ?
