ToString(Cell) Method
Example 


Cell to use for computing the relative reference
Gets a string that contains a relative reference to this cell in the current reference style.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function ToString( _
   ByVal relativeTo As Cell _
) As String
'Usage
 
Dim instance As Cell
Dim relativeTo As Cell
Dim value As String
 
value = instance.ToString(relativeTo)
public string ToString( 
   Cell relativeTo
)

Parameters

relativeTo
Cell to use for computing the relative reference

Return Value

String containing a relative reference to this cell in the current reference style
Remarks

Use this method to return the relative reference for another cell to this cell. Specify the cell for which you want the reference using the relativeTo parameter.

For example, if you want the relative reference from cell C3 to cell C1, call this method for cell C1, specifying cell C3 for the relativeTo parameter. The result is "C1", "C1", and R[-2]C, for the Default, A1, and R1C1 cell reference styles, respectively.

Header cells always return String.Empty because they cannot be referenced.

Example
This example creates a Cell object and uses its formula property to sum the values of two cells.
FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell acell, mycell, urcell;
acell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0];
mycell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[2, 2];
urcell = fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[2, 3];
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[2, 2].Value = 10;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[2, 3].Value = 10;
acell.Formula = "SUM(" + mycell.ToString(urcell) + "," + urcell.ToString(mycell) + ")";
Dim acell, mycell, urcell As FarPoint.Win.Spread.Cell
acell = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0)
mycell = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2)
urcell = FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3)
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 3).Value = 10
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(2, 2).Value = 10
acell.Formula = "SUM(" + mycell.ToString(urcell) + "," + urcell.ToString(mycell) + ")"
