How to identify a password protected excel document and provide the password dynamically?
If an Excel document is encrypted with a password, XlsIO supports raising an event to provide the password dynamically. The code snippets to provide the password dynamically are given below.
C#
private void btnCreate_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine();
IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
application.OnPasswordRequired += application_OnPasswordRequired;
IWorkbook workbook;
string inputPath = GetFullTemplatePath("Sample.xlsx");
workbook = application.Workbooks.Open(inputPath, ExcelOpenType.Automatic);
IWorksheet sheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
workbook.Version = ExcelVersion.Excel2010;
string fileName = @"../../Output/Output.xlsx";
workbook.SaveAs(fileName);
}
void application_OnPasswordRequired(object sender, PasswordRequiredEventArgs e)
{
e.NewPassword = "syncfusion";
}
VB
Dim excelEngine As ExcelEngine = New ExcelEngine()
Dim application As IApplication = excelEngine.Excel
application.OnPasswordRequired += application_OnPasswordRequired
Dim workbook As IWorkbook
Dim inputPath As String = GetFullTemplatePath("Sample.xlsx")
workbook = application.Workbooks.Open(inputPath, ExcelOpenType.Automatic)
Dim sheet As IWorksheet = workbook.Worksheets(0)
workbook.Version = ExcelVersion.Excel2010
Dim fileName As String = "../../Output/Output.xlsx"
workbook.SaveAs(fileName)
Private Sub application_OnPasswordRequired(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PasswordRequiredEventArgs)
e.NewPassword = "syncfusion"
End Sub
