<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><pre><code>&lt;p&gt;If the specified cell doesn't exist when the indexer is invoked, the sheet will be expanded and 
</code></pre>
<p>a new cell will be created, then returned. This makes it easy to create and populate sheets.</p>
<p>If you want to determine whether a specific cell has been defined, use the <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.XLSheet.GetCell.html#C1_WPF_Excel_XLSheet_GetCell_System_Int32_System_Int32_">GetCell(int, int)</a>
method instead.</p>
<p>The indexer is generally more useful when creating and populating sheets. The <a class="xref" href="C1.WPF.Excel.XLSheet.GetCell.html#C1_WPF_Excel_XLSheet_GetCell_System_Int32_System_Int32_">GetCell(int, int)</a>
method is more useful when loading existing sheets.</p>
