Examples

The following code example creates an external link to an Excel workbook and then uses the ChangeLink method to change the link destination. This example assumes that workbooks Book2.xlsx and Book3.xls exist at the root of the C directory.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub ChangeAllLinks()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1").FormulaR1C1 = _
        "='C:\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!R2C2" 

    Me.ChangeLink("C:\Book2.xlsx", "C:\Book3.xlsx", _
        Excel.XlLinkType.xlLinkTypeExcelLinks)
End Sub

private void ChangeAllLinks()
{
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1"].FormulaR1C1 =
        @"='C:\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!R2C2";

    this.ChangeLink(@"C:\Book2.xlsx", @"C:\Book3.xlsx",
        Excel.XlLinkType.xlLinkTypeExcelLinks);
}
