Hi,
I encountered an error while opening a password protected workbook using Aspose.Cells (version: 5.1.3.0).
I have seen this issue has been raised on the Aspose website, but I couldn’t find a answer leading to a solution.
Can you help please? Thanks.

Registered error information:

_COMPlusExceptionCode -532459699

RangeMessage "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values."

Message:
Index and count must refer to a location within the buffer.
Parameter name: bytes
