I'm using this code to read an Excel sheet. I want to read only the first row in a single column table. My cell is "B1". How do i do that using this code?

C#

using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

string ExcelFile = Application.StartupPath + @"\SurveyLinks.xlsx";
Excel.Application ExcelApp = new Excel.Application();
Excel.Workbook ExcelWorkBook = ExcelApp.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFile);
Excel._Worksheet ExcelWorkSheet = ExcelWorkBook.Sheets[1];
Excel.Range ExcelRange = ExcelWorkSheet.

I dont know what to insert after "ExcelWorksheet." Got any ideas?
