This example is for a document-level customization.

private void DisplayParent()
{
    if (this.Parent != null)
    {
        Excel.Workbook book = (Excel.Workbook)this.Parent;
        MessageBox.Show("The parent workbook for this worksheet is: " + 
            book.Name);
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This worksheet has no parent.");
    }
}

Private Sub DisplayParent()
    If Not (Me.Parent Is Nothing) Then
        Dim book As Excel.Workbook = _
            CType(Me.Parent, Excel.Workbook)
        MsgBox("The parent workbook for this worksheet is: " & _
            book.Name)
    Else
        MsgBox("This worksheet has no parent.")
    End If
End Sub
