            AddressOf selectionChangeRange_SelectionChange
    End Sub


    Sub selectionChangeRange_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As _
        Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)
        Dim selectedRange As String = Target.Address(, , _
            Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1, , )

        MessageBox.Show(Me.Name & ": " & selectedRange & _
            " raised the SelectionChange event.")
    End Sub

Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange selectionChangeRange;
private void DisplaySelectionChange()
{
    selectionChangeRange = this.Controls.AddNamedRange(
        this.Range["A1", "E5"], "selectionChangeRange");
