Protection identification issues. Aspose.Cells 8.6.0.0

Aspose.Cells Product Family
#1
Description: Names of sample files (I refer to them in the list of issues) contains file format and protection info:
  • M - file has password to modify set.
  • O - file has password top open set.
  • OM - both passwords were set.
Issues
  • xlsm_M.xlsm, xlsm_OM.xlsm, xlsx_M.xlsm, xltm_M.xltm, xltm_OM.xltm, xltx_M.xltx, xltx_OM.xltx.
Workbook.Settings.IsWriteProtected returns wrong value. TRUE expected.
  • xls_OM.xls, xlt_OM.xlt.
FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat("").IsEncrypted returns wrong value. TRUE expected.
  • All O and OM files (but they have password to open set).
Workbook.Settings.IsProtected returns wrong value.

Sample code.

private static void TestExcel()
{
var di = new DirectoryInfo("");
var files = di.GetFiles("x*");
foreach (var f in files)
{
var d = new c.Workbook(f.FullName, new c.LoadOptions() { Password = "1" });
var IsEncrypted = c.FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat(f.FullName).IsEncrypted;
var IsProtected = d.Settings.IsProtected;
var IsWriteProtected = d.Settings.IsWriteProtected;
}
}

Hi,


Tested new DLL. Here are results in the order issues are mentioned in the initial post:
  • Settings.WriteProtection.IsWriteProtected returns correct value.
  • FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat(f.FullName).IsEncrypted returns correct value.
  • Workbook.Settings.IsProtected still returns wrong value (FALSE is always returned) for all formats and all combinations of passwords (O and OM).
Best regards,
Alex Shloma

Hi Alex,


Thank you for writing back.

I have evaluated the recently shared case against the latest version of Aspose.Cells for .NET 8.6.0.5, and I am able to notice that all of you provided samples (shared in first post) returns false for the WorkbookSettings.IsProtected property. I have reopened the previously logged ticket CELLSNET-43950 and have requested the product team to provide a justification for this behavior. As soon as we receive any updates in this regard, we will post here for your kind reference.

We are sorry for your inconvenience.

Hi,

Thanks for using Aspose.Cells.

WorkbookSettings.IsProtected is used check whether the structure or window of the Workbook is protected.

Please use WorkbookSettings.IsEncrypted to check whether the file is encrypted.

#7

Thanks for an explanation.


Re tested. IsEncrypted works perfect on my set of test workbooks.

Best regards,
Alex Shloma
