   SecureString password,
   Nullable<bool> allowEditObjects,
   Nullable<bool> allowEditContents
)

Parameters

password

The password used to protect the Worksheet.

allowEditObjects

Optional boolean indicating the new value for the Infragistics.Documents.Excel.Charts.ChartsheetProtection.AllowEditObjects.

allowEditContents

Optional boolean indicating the new value for the Infragistics.Documents.Excel.Charts.ChartsheetProtection.AllowEditContents.

Remarks

When a Chartsheet is protected without a password, the end user may unprotect the Chartsheet in Excel without having to supply a password. To programatically unprotect a Chartsheet, one may use the Sheet.Unprotect method.

The optional parameters are used to update the property values of the Infragistics.Documents.Excel.Charts.ChartsheetProtection instance from this Chartsheet's Protection property. If the parameter is null, the current value of the associated property will be retained; otherwise the property will be updated with the specified value. For example, if the Infragistics.Documents.Excel.Charts.ChartsheetProtection.AllowEditObjects is currently true and the allowEditObjects is null, then the property will continue to be true but if the allowEditObjects is false the Infragistics.Documents.Excel.Charts.ChartsheetProtection.AllowEditObjects will be changed to false.

Note: If Sheet.IsProtected is already true, the method will be ignored.
