Problems with the excel find function in vb.net

[pp]

I have copied this code from Excel VBA, to use in a VB.net application:

Dim r as Excel.Range

r=Cells.Find(What:="02/01/2001 22:00:00", After:=ActiveCell,
LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows,
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

But in VB.net, the editor doesn’t recognise de following constants:
ActiveCell, xlFormulas, xlPart, xlByRows.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel

Sub Main()
Dim r As Excel.Range

r = Cells.Find( _
What:="02/01/2001 22:00:00", _
, _ <-- Can leave it blank here
LookIn:=Excel.XlFindLookIn.xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=Excel.XlLookAt.xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=Excel.XlSearchOrder.xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=Excel.XlSearchDirection.xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, _
SearchFormat:=False)

Many thanks for your answer. I had a problem with the first line of
code: Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel. I have this
answer: Namespace or type ‘Excel’ for the imports
‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel’ cannot be found.

In the begin of my module I have these imports:
Imports Microsoft.Office.Core
Imports System.Data.OleDb

Thanks,
