Could you describe your business requirement?

Text files can always be edited, but you can restrict who can edit it.

My suggestion is to export the file normally without any tricks, and just place it in a folder where your users have only read access. This way it's "read only" for them. But of course they can still copy it on their workstation and edit the copy.

PDF is often useful for distributing documents that should not be edited, because normally it can't be edited. But even then it's possible by using software that supports editing PDFs.

Hi Siddy Mujumda,

You can set the property IsReadOnly to true to make the file as read only after you save the file.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.fileinfo.isreadonly?view=netcore-3.1

System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(sourceFile);

fileInfo.IsReadOnly = true;
