Private Sub ChartSheetProtection()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55

    Me.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "B5"), _
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
    Me.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn

    Me.Protect(DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
        Scenarios:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=False)

    If Me.ProtectContents Then
        If DialogResult.Yes = MessageBox.Show("The chart sheet" & _
            " is protected. Unprotect the chart sheet?", _
            "Example", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) Then
            Me.Unprotect()
        End If
    End If
End Sub
private void ChartSheetProtection()
{
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    this.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "B5"],
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
    this.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn;

    this.Protect(missing, true, true, true, false);

    if (this.ProtectContents)
    {
        if (DialogResult.Yes ==
            MessageBox.Show("The chart sheet is protected. " +
            "Unprotect the chart sheet?", "Example", 
            MessageBoxButtons.YesNo))
        {
            this.Unprotect(missing);
        }
    }
}
