This method is available only to custom document properties (accessible using the DocumentProperties.Custom property).
If the custom property with the name passed as the name method parameter doesn’t exist, it is created automatically.
The custom property linked to the named cell range returns the value of the range’s upper-left cell.
//Define a name to the cell to be linked to the custom property
workbook.DefinedNames.Add("checked_by", "E6");
//Connect the custom property with the named cell
workbook.DocumentProperties.Custom.LinkToContent("Checked by", "checked_by");
'Define a name to the cell to be linked to the custom property
workbook.DefinedNames.Add("checked_by", "E6")
'Connect the custom property with the named cell
workbook.DocumentProperties.Custom.LinkToContent("Checked by", "checked_by")
