This example is for a document-level customization.

Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange formatRange;
private void ApplyNumberFormatting()
{
    formatRange = this.Controls.AddNamedRange(
         this.Range["C1"], "formatRange");

    this.formatRange.Value2 = "4-Apr-1974";
    this.formatRange.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy";

    // Display the number format in the language of the user.
    MessageBox.Show("The number format for the NamedRange is: " +
        this.formatRange.NumberFormatLocal.ToString());
}

Private formatRange As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.NamedRange

Private Sub ApplyNumberFormatting()
    formatRange = Me.Controls.AddNamedRange( _
        Me.Range("C1"), "formatRange")

    Me.formatRange.Value2 = "4-Apr-1974"
    Me.formatRange.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"

    ' Display the number format in the language of the user.
    MessageBox.Show("The number format for the NamedRange is: " & _
        Me.formatRange.NumberFormatLocal.ToString())
End Sub

Remarks

The Format function uses different format code strings than do the NumberFormat and NumberFormatLocal properties.
