C#

var workbook = new Workbook();
workbook.LoadDocument(@"C:\Docs\Comments.xlsx");
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
var comments = worksheet.ThreadedComments;

ThreadedComment threadedComment =
    comments.Add(worksheet["G16"], "Sales Department",
         "The discount was approved by the Sales Director at the meeting on November 5th.");
threadedComment.Resolved = true;

workbook.SaveDocument(@"C:\Docs\Comments_upd.xlsx");

VB.NET

Dim workbook As New Workbook()
workbook.LoadDocument("C:\Docs\Comments.xlsx")
Dim worksheet As Worksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
Dim comments = worksheet.ThreadedComments

Dim threadedComment As ThreadedComment = comments.Add(worksheet("G16"), "Sales Department", "The discount was approved by the Sales Director at the meeting on November 5th.")
