Workbook.SaveDocument(String, EncryptionSettings) Method

Saves the document to a file in the Excel or text format with the specified encryption settings. The file format is identified by the file extension.

You need a license for the DevExpress Office File API Subscription or DevExpress Universal Subscription to use this method in production code.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Docs.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor

Declaration

public void SaveDocument(
    string fileName,
    EncryptionSettings encryptionSettings
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
fileName String

Specifies the file path to save the document.

encryptionSettings EncryptionSettings

Specifies encryption options.

Remarks

The DocumentFormat enumeration lists the supported document formats. To export a file to PDF or HTML, use the Workbook.ExportToPdf and Workbook.ExportToHtml methods.

This SaveDocument method overload allows you to encrypt a workbook with a password, as shown below:

// Add a reference to the DevExpress.Docs.dll assembly.
using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
// ...

// Specify encryption settings.
EncryptionSettings encryptionSettings = new EncryptionSettings();
encryptionSettings.Type = DevExpress.Spreadsheet.EncryptionType.Strong;
encryptionSettings.Password = "password";

// Save the document.
workbook.SaveDocument("Document.xlsx", encryptionSettings);

Calculate Formulas Before Save Operation

The default calculation mode for a Workbook is Manual. This mode implies that the Spreadsheet does not calculate formulas before it saves a document. Call the Workbook.Calculate or Workbook.CalculateFull method to calculate all formulas in the workbook.
