Default Getting a range that includes alternate rows only

Hi,

I am using excel to display a large amount of data (10,000 lines)
that is exported from a c# program. What i am trying to do is to
colour in alternate rows to make this data easier to read.

I currently have a function that iterates through each alternate row
and colours them one at a time.

for (int colouringIndex = 2; colouringIndex < rowCounter+3;
colouringIndex += 2)
{
Range rowRange = sheet.get_Range("A" +
colouringIndex.ToString(), brLastColumnWanted+

colouringIndex.ToString());
headingRange.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 1;
}

This is taking ~20 sec. So what i want to do is speed the process up
by getting one Range that covers all the alternate rows that i need to
colour and then set the colour for those rows in one go. Is there a
way to do this in C#? In VBA you can do something like

Range("1:1, "3:3", "5,5").Select
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 1;

Whats the C# equivalent?

thanks

Neil
