By default, a chart embedded in a protected worksheet is Locked. This
means it updates as the data updates, but the user can't change it.

If it's feasible, unlock the cells the user is allowed to change, then
protect the sheet.

In a protected chart sheet, the right click menu items are disabled.

In Excel VBA, these two procedures are exactly what is needed to protect
a chart sheet:

Sub ProtectChart()
Dim oChart As Chart
Set oChart = ActiveChart
oChart.Protect "abc", True, True, True, True
End Sub

Sub UnProtectChart()
Dim oChart As Chart
Set oChart = ActiveChart
oChart.Unprotect "abc"
End Sub

The code is different for an embedded chart, because such a chart cannot
be protected, only locked, while its parent sheet can be protected.

It's hard to see the context of your command, with only that command
posted. On the other hand, I am not experienced in .Net, so the context
may not help.
