I'm not a big user of VSTO C# - I usually opt for VBA. However, the following pair of functions might be useful for you. Unsure if they can be streamlined some more:

public string RangeAddress(Excel.Range rng)
{
    return rng.get_AddressLocal(false, false, Excel.XlReferenceStyle.xlA1,
           missing, missing);
}
public string CellAddress(Excel.Worksheet sht, int row, int col)
{
    return RangeAddress(sht.Cells[row, col]);
}

The RangeAddress will take any Excel range and throw you back the address. If you want the absolute style (with dollar signs, e.g. $C$3) then you have to change the first two parameters of the get_AddressLocal call to true, true.

To get the cell address from a row/col pair, you can use CellAddress. It does need a sheet to get the address. However, you could swap in (Excel.Worksheet)ActiveSheet if you don't want to provide a sheet (this may or may not work, depending on what you have open in your VSTO session).
