        MsgBox("The parent workbook for this worksheet is: " & _
            book.Name)

    End If 
End Sub
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);
    }
