Examples

The following code example uses the LinkSources method to get an array of the names of all Excel links in the current workbook. The example then uses the OpenLinks method to open each document as read-only.

This example is for a document-level customization.

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

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);
    }
