title: Visual C# - Editing Excel Files
body: <p>I've been following a useful article on MSDN about how to search for content in my excel workbook through C#:</p>

  <p>The documentation for get_address however suggests that this function should not be used within an application:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.excel.namedrange.get_address(v=vs.80).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.excel.namedrange.get_address(v=vs.80).aspx</a></p>
  
  <p>"This method supports the Visual Studio Tools for Office infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code."</p>
  
  <p>I'm struggling to find any other paradigms for searching a range which doesn't use get_address in some form or another. Is there a newer more standard way to approaching this problem?</p>
