I'm moving some code from Excel vbs into a .NET context and I'm very
new to .NET.  I'm trying to make this Excel vb code work in .NET.  My
questions are: how do I reference cells correctly using the common
"cells(x,y)" reference, where x and y are integer variables.  Also, how
do I verify that the cells are empty, since, according to the
documentation, the "IsEmpty" function does not work in .NET now?

Thanks for any help!

'//////////START CODE EXAMPLE///////////

Function getroworcol(roworcol, start)

Dim intoutside As Integer
Dim intctr

'DETERMINE START POINT OF SEARCH
If roworcol = 0 Then
outside = 200
Else
outside = 50
End If

'COUNT BACKWARDS FROM START POINT UNTIL FIND FILLED CELL
For intctr = outside To 1 Step -1
   If roworcol = 0 Then
       If IsEmpty(Cells(intctr, 1)) = False Then
       Exit For
       End If
   ElseIf roworcol = 1 Then
       If IsEmpty(Cells(1, intctr)) = False Then
       Exit For
       End If
   End If
Next intctr

getroworcol = intctr

End Function
