Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if cells in the protected destination worksheet have the same protection options as the source worksheet cells; overwise, false (default).

using DevExpress.Spreadsheet;
// ...

using (Workbook sourceWorkbook = new Workbook())
using (Workbook targetWorkbook = new Workbook())
{
    targetWorkbook.LoadDocument(@"Documents\Book1.xlsx");
    sourceWorkbook.LoadDocument(@"Documents\Book2.xlsx");
    // Add a new worksheet to the destination workbook.
    Worksheet targetSheet = targetWorkbook.Worksheets.Add("Sheet1_Copy");
    // Protect the worksheet.
    targetSheet.Protect("password", WorksheetProtectionPermissions.Default);
    // Specify copy options.
    var copyOptions = new WorksheetCopyOptions()
    {
        OverwriteProtectionOnLockedWorksheet = true
    };
    // Copy data from "Sheet1" in the source workbook
    // to the newly created worksheet in the destination workbook. 
    targetSheet.CopyFrom(sourceWorkbook.Worksheets["Sheet1"], copyOptions);
    targetWorkbook.SaveDocument("Result.xlsx");
}
