Property Value

XmlMappedRange_CharactersType

A Characters object that represents a range of characters within the text of the XmlMappedRange control.

Examples

The following code example uses the Characters property to apply bold formatting to the first character in the text of an XmlMappedRange. This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell.

private void FormatCharacters()
{
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.Characters[1, 1].Text = "Smith";
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.Characters[1, 1].Font.Bold = true;
}

Private Sub FormatCharacters()
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Characters(1, 1).Text = "Smith"
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.Characters(1, 1).Font.Bold = True
End Sub

Remarks

The Characters property is intended to be used with the following parameters.

Parameter	Description
`Start`	The first character to be returned. If this argument is either 1 or omitted, this property returns a range of characters starting with the first character.
`Length`	The number of characters to be returned. If this argument is omitted, this property returns the remainder of the string (everything after the `Start` character).

If you attempt to use Characters without specifying any parameters, Characters will get an XmlMappedRange_CharactersType object that is part of Office development tools in Visual Studio infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

You can use the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Characters object to format characters within a text string.

The Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Characters object is not a collection.
