Hi,
I've a c sharp code where im creating a excel file using openxml and this code runs on a task scheduler every 15 mins to create the excel file. I cant use interop since it wont work with the task scheduler so i have used open xml. This excel file should be in readonly. im NOT able to make this file as read only. i tried protection for workbook and sheets. may be i used it wrong. Can somebody help me, how to make the excel readyonly so that the users cant edit anything?

Thanks in advance.
