Excel - Referencing a named range
Hi folks, I'm tearing my hair out over this one and any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to reference a named range in my worksheet, but of the two methods that I've found, neither work.
If I use this:
dataRange = Program.application.Names.Application.Names("name of range").RefersToRange;
I receive the following error:
Non-invocable member 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application.Names' cannot be used like a method.
If I try to index it, as some have suggested, like this:
dataRange = Program.application.Names.Application.Names["name of range"].RefersToRange;
I recieve this error:
Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Names'
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'm sorry, the line that I posed up there isn't the correct line. I was trying random garbage in my frustration.
Here are the two alternatives that I've tried:
dataRange = c_application.ActiveWorkbook.Names["name of range"].RefersToRange;
dataRange = c_application.ActiveWorkbook.Names("name of range").RefersToRange;
