WorkbookExtensions.Clone(IWorkbook, Boolean) Method

Creates a workbook copy and specifies whether the resulting document should contain formula results instead of formula expressions.

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.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Document.Processor

Declaration

C#

public static Workbook Clone(
    this IWorkbook workbook,
    bool copyFormulas
)

VB.NET

<ExtensionAttribute>
Public Shared Function Clone(
    workbook As IWorkbook,
    copyFormulas As Boolean
) As Workbook

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
workbook	IWorkbook	An object exposing the IWorkbook interface that specifies the source workbook for copying.
copyFormulas	Boolean	true, to copy formulas of the source workbook; otherwise, false. If false, only the calculated results are copied.

Returns

Type	Description
Workbook	A Workbook object that is the created copy.

Remarks

The Clone method is an extension method of the object that exposes the IWorkbook interface (SpreadsheetControl.Document or non-visual Workbook) and is called by using instance method syntax.

Use the current Clone method overload to create a copy of the specified workbook without formulas: the resulting document retains only the formula results.
