This example is for a document-level customization.

    Private Sub ListObject_SourceType()
        ' Create a new DataSet and DataTable.
        Dim ds As New DataSet()
        Dim dt As DataTable = ds.Tables.Add("Customers")
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("LastName"))
        dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("FirstName"))

        ' Add a new row to the DataTable.
        Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow()
        dr("LastName") = "Chan"
        dr("FirstName") = "Gareth"
        dt.Rows.Add(dr)

        ' Create a list object.
        Dim List1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject = _
            Me.Controls.AddListObject(Me.Range("A1"), _
            "List1")

        ' Bind the list object to the DataTable.
        List1.AutoSetDataBoundColumnHeaders = True
        List1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers", _
            "LastName", "FirstName")

        ' Get the source type and display it in a message.
        MessageBox.Show("The source type of List1 is " & _
            List1.SourceType.ToString() & ".")
    End Sub

private void ListObject_SourceType()
{
    // Create a new DataSet and DataTable.
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    DataTable dt = ds.Tables.Add("Customers");
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("LastName"));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("FirstName"));

    // Add a new row to the DataTable.
    DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
    dr["LastName"] = "Chan";
    dr["FirstName"] = "Gareth";
    dt.Rows.Add(dr);

    // Create a list object.
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.ListObject list1 =
        this.Controls.AddListObject(
        this.Range["A1", missing], "list1");

    // Bind the list object to the DataTable.
    list1.AutoSetDataBoundColumnHeaders = true;
    list1.SetDataBinding(ds, "Customers", "LastName",
        "FirstName");

    // Get the source type and display it in a message.
    MessageBox.Show("The source type of list1 is " +
        list1.SourceType.ToString() + ".");
}
