This example is for a document-level customization.

private void WorkbookLinkSources()
{
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1"].Value2 =
        @"='C:\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!R2C2";
    Array links = (Array)this.LinkSources(Excel.XlLink.xlExcelLinks);

    for (int i = 1; i <= links.Length; i++)
    {
        this.OpenLinks((string)links.GetValue(i), true,
            Excel.XlLink.xlExcelLinks);
    }
}

Private Sub WorkbookLinkSources()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1").Value2 = _
        "='C:\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!R2C2"
    Dim links As Array = _
        CType(Me.LinkSources(Excel.XlLink.xlExcelLinks),  _
        Array)

    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To links.Length
        Me.OpenLinks(links(i), True, Excel.XlLink.xlExcelLinks)
    Next i
End Sub
