Hello, I have a custom table ( in a dotnet web application), I am using Aspose word documentation and I am facing issue that in my custom table I am not able to close the table (the final table border is not appearing).

Below is the code I am using for creating my custom table:

 private void AddCustomTable(DocumentBuilder builder, List<SomeCustomListItem> rows, string title)
{
    var columns = new List<string>
    {
        "Value1",
        "Value2"
    };

    Table table = builder.StartTable();
    FormatRowHeading();

    //Insert first merged cell
    for (int i = 0; i < columns.Count; i++)
    {
        builder.InsertCell();
        builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = i == 0 ? CellMerge.First : CellMerge.Previous;

        if (i == 0)
        {
            builder.Write(title);
        }
    }
    builder.EndRow();

    FormatHeaderColumns();
    // Create a new row and insert the name of each column into the first row of the table.
    builder.CellFormat.HorizontalMerge = CellMerge.None;
    foreach (var column in columns)
    {
        builder.InsertCell();
        builder.Write(column);
    }

    builder.EndRow();

    FormatRows();

    foreach (var row in rows)
    {
        builder.InsertCell();
        builder.Write(row.Value1?.ToString() ?? string.Empty);

        builder.InsertCell();
        builder.Write(row.Value2?.ToString() ?? string.Empty);

        builder.EndRow();
    }

    // We have finished inserting all the data from the DataTable, we can end the table.
    builder.EndTable();
    builder.Writeln();
    builder.Writeln();

    void FormatRowHeading()
    {
        builder.Font.Bold = true;
        builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Left;
        builder.CellFormat.VerticalAlignment = CellVerticalAlignment.Center;
        builder.Font.Size = 8;
        builder.Font.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ffffff");
        builder.Font.Name = "EYInterstate Light";
        builder.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 3;
        builder.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = 3;
        builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#797991");
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ffffff");
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.LineWidth = 0.01;
        builder.CellFormat.SetPaddings(1, 1, 1, 1);
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle = LineStyle.None;
    }

    void FormatRows()
    {
        builder.Font.Bold = false;
        builder.Font.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#000000");
        builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Left;
        builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ffffff");
        builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#D2D2DA");
        builder.RowFormat.Height = 17;
        builder.RowFormat.HeightRule = HeightRule.AtLeast;
    }

    void FormatHeaderColumns()
    {
        builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
        builder.Font.Bold = true;
        builder.Font.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#000000");
        builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
        builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#D2D2DA");
    }
}

Please assist me on the same.

@preetia14 The problem is caused by the following line of code in FormatRowHeading method

builder.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle = LineStyle.None;

This is inherited by data rows and bottom bolder is not visible. You should either remove this line of code or modify FormatRows method as the folliwing:

void FormatRows()
{
    builder.Font.Bold = false;
    builder.Font.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#000000");
    builder.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Left;
    builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ffffff");
    builder.CellFormat.Borders.Color = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#D2D2DA");
    builder.CellFormat.Borders.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;
    builder.RowFormat.Height = 17;
    builder.RowFormat.HeightRule = HeightRule.AtLeast;
}

Also, you can do this after building the table for the last row only:

// We have finished inserting all the data from the DataTable, we can end the table.
builder.EndTable();
foreach (Cell c in table.LastRow.Cells)
    c.CellFormat.Borders.Bottom.LineStyle = LineStyle.Single;
