DocX and Tables

Create and inserting Tables into documents is easy with DocX.

Simple Table

1. // Create a document.
2. using (DocX document = DocX.Create(@"Test.docx"))
3. {
4. // Add a Table to this document.
5. Table t = document.AddTable(2, 3);
7. // Specify some properties for this Table.
8. t.Alignment = Alignment.center;
9. t.Design = TableDesign.MediumGrid1Accent2;
11. // Add content to this Table.
12. t.Rows[0].Cells[0].Paragraphs.First().Append("A");
13. t.Rows[0].Cells[1].Paragraphs.First().Append("B");
14. t.Rows[0].Cells[2].Paragraphs.First().Append("C");
15. t.Rows[1].Cells[0].Paragraphs.First().Append("D");
16. t.Rows[1].Cells[1].Paragraphs.First().Append("E");
17. t.Rows[1].Cells[2].Paragraphs.First().Append("F");
19. // Insert the Table into the document.
20. document.InsertTable(t);
22. document.Save();
23. }// Release this document from memory.

The above code will creates a document that looks like the below image.

Paragraphs inside Table Cells can of course contain content such as Images, Hyperlinks and custom text styles as in the below example.

Advance Table

1. // Create a document.
2. using (DocX document = DocX.Create(@"Test.docx"))
3. {
4. // Add a Table to this document.
5. Table table = document.AddTable(2, 3);
7. // Add a Hyperlink into this document.
8. Hyperlink h = document.AddHyperlink("Google", new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
10. // Add an Image into this document.
11. Novacode.Image i = document.AddImage(@"Logo.png");
13. // Create a Picture (Custom View) of this Image.
14. Picture p = i.CreatePicture();
15. p.Rotation = 10;
17. // Specify some properties for this Table.
18. table.Alignment = Alignment.center;
19. table.Design = TableDesign.LightShadingAccent2;
21. // Insert the Table into the document.
22. Table t1 = document.InsertTable(table);
24. // Add content to this Table.
25. t1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Paragraphs.First().AppendHyperlink(h).Append(" is my favourite search engine.");
26. t1.Rows[0].Cells[1].Paragraphs.First().Append("This text is bold.").Bold();
27. t1.Rows[0].Cells[2].Paragraphs.First().Append("Underlined").UnderlineStyle(UnderlineStyle.singleLine);
28. t1.Rows[1].Cells[0].Paragraphs.First().Append("Green").Color(Color.Green);
29. t1.Rows[1].Cells[1].Paragraphs.First().Append("Right to Left").Direction = Direction.RightToLeft;
30. t1.Rows[1].Cells[2].Paragraphs.First().AppendPicture(p);
32. document.Save();
33. }// Release this document from memory.

The above code will creates a document that looks like the below image.

Happy coding,
