Public ReadOnly Property WriteReservedBy As String
public string WriteReservedBy { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
The name of the user who currently has write permission for the workbook.

Examples

The following code example uses the WriteReserved property to determine whether the current workbook is write-reserved. If the workbook is not write-reserved, then the method sets the WritePassword property to a password obtained through user input. Otherwise, the example uses the WriteReservedBy property to display the name of the user who saved the workbook as write-reserved. This example assumes the existence of a method named GetPasswordFromUserInput that obtains a strong password from user input.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub SetWritePassword()
    If Not Me.WriteReserved Then 
        Me.WritePassword = GetPasswordFromUserInput()
    Else
        MsgBox("This workbook has been saved as Write Reserved." & _
            " Please contact " & Me.WriteReservedBy & " to add data.")
    End If 
End Sub
private void SetWritePassword()
{
    if (!this.WriteReserved)
    {
        this.WritePassword = GetPasswordFromUserInput();
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("This workbook was saved as Write Reserved." +
            " Please contact " + this.WriteReservedBy + " to add data.");
    }
}
