Private Sub ExcelAddListObject()
    Dim List1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel. _
        ListObject = Me.Controls.AddListObject( _
        Me.Range("A1", "C5"), "List1")

    MessageBox.Show("The list object has " _
        & List1.Range.Rows.Count.ToString() + " rows.")

End Sub

private void ExcelAddListObject()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject list1 =
        this.Controls.AddListObject(this.Range["A1", "C5"], 
        "list1");
    MessageBox.Show("The list object has " + 
        list1.Range.Rows.Count.ToString() + " rows.");
