This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub WorkbookLinkInfo()
    ' Get the collection of DDE/OLE links in the workbook. 
    Dim Links As Array = _
        CType(Me.LinkSources(Excel.XlLink.xlOLELinks),  _
        Array)

    ' If there are DDE/OLE links, then display how each link 
    ' updates. 
    If Links IsNot Nothing Then 
        Dim i As Integer 
        For i = 1 To Links.Length
            Dim UpdateValue As Integer = Me.LinkInfo(Links(i), _
                Excel.XlLinkInfo.xlUpdateState, _
                Excel.XlLinkInfoType.xlLinkInfoOLELinks)

            If UpdateValue = 1 Then
                MsgBox(Links(i) & " link updates automatically.")
            ElseIf UpdateValue = 2 Then
                MsgBox(Links(i) & " link updates manually.")
            End If 
        Next i
    Else
        MsgBox("The workbook contains no DDE/OLE links.")
    End If 
End Sub
private void WorkbookLinkInfo()
{
    // Get the collection of DDE/OLE links in the workbook.
    Array links = (Array)this.LinkSources(Excel.XlLink.xlOLELinks);

    // If there are DDE/OLE links, then display how each link 
    // updates. 
    if (links != null)
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= links.Length; i++)
        {
            string linkName = (string)links.GetValue(i);
            int updateValue = (int)this.LinkInfo(linkName,
                Excel.XlLinkInfo.xlUpdateState,
                Excel.XlLinkInfoType.xlLinkInfoOLELinks);
