I have Microsoft Office installed in my computer, and I'm about to begin Excel programming with Visual Studio 2019. I added Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library reference to my project, but the added reference doesn't show in the project's reference list. When I add 'using ExelNS=Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel' I get following error message:
C50234: The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office (are you missing an assemble reference?)'.

What I have tried:

What can I do? Am I missing something?

You need to add the Interop assemblies as well: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
