使用允许排序和允许自动过滤来保护 Excel C#

Question

I'm using EPPLUS.dll for doing my excel works I tried to protect the worksheet using AllowSort and AllowAutoFilter Properties but it's not working.

worksheet.Protection.AllowSort = true;
worksheet.Protection.AllowAutoFilter = true;
worksheet.Protection.SetPassword("password");
worksheet.Protection.IsProtected = true;

I tried Below Code too but i didn't get my desired result

worksheet.Column(1).Style.Locked = true;

Epplus Lock Cells By default and Locking Cells will not Fix my Problem; the only thing I need is a protected or read-only cell while sorting and Filtering Allowed

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you tried moving the worksheet.Protection.IsProtected = true; to be the first statement in your block of code. Perhaps this is overriding your previous statements.

The below has worked for me in the past, as in it will protect the worksheet, ie make it read only

        worksheet.Cells[worksheet.Dimension.Address].AutoFitColumns();
        worksheet.Protection.IsProtected = true;
        worksheet.View.FreezePanes(2, 1); // freeze header row
        worksheet.Protection.AllowSort = true;
        worksheet.Cells[worksheet.Dimension.Address].AutoFilter = true;
        worksheet.Protection.AllowAutoFilter = true;

I think to password protect it, it has to be against the package not the worksheet.

So use the .Save overload if saving the package.

package.Save("password");

Or if you're saving as a ByteArray then

package.GetAsByteArray("password");

The only way i Found was, using Visual Basic Code inside of that Excel Document which locked right-click and copy-paste options. unfortunately before excel opens the documents, that asks something about dangerous scripts and offer to disable running scripts. at last i was impossible in my case.
