WorkbookBase.HasPassword Property

Gets a value that indicates whether the workbook has a protection password.

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities (in Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.v4.0.Utilities.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property HasPassword As Boolean
public bool HasPassword { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the workbook has a protection password; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example checks the value of the HasPassword property to determine whether the workbook is password protected. If the workbook is not password protected, then the example sets the Password property to a password obtained from user input, and then calls the SetPasswordEncryptionOptions method to set the encryption algorithm, set the key length, set the name of the encryption provider, and enable file property encryption. The example then displays the values of the PasswordEncryptionProvider, PasswordEncryptionAlgorithm, PasswordEncryptionKeyLength, and PasswordEncryptionFileProperties properties in worksheet Sheet1. This example assumes the existence of a method named GetPasswordFromUserInput that obtains a strong password from user input.

This example is for a document-level customization.
