How to check whether a excel file is write protected or not in C#?
- by Pavan Navali
Hi,
I'm developing a sample application in which I have to open an excel file and check whether the file is write protercteed or not. The code is
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fileNameAndPath = @"D:\Sample\Sample1.xls";
// the above excel file is a write protected.
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application a = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
if (System.IO.File.Exists(fileNameAndPath))
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass();
// create the workbook object by opening the excel file.
app.Workbooks.Open(fileNameAndPath,0,false,5,"","",true,Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlPlatform.xlWindows,"\t",false, true, 0,false,true,0);
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook w = app.Workbooks.Application.ActiveWorkbook;
if (w.ReadOnly)
MessageBox.Show("HI");
// the above condition is true.
}
}
I would like know whether the file is write protected or not.
