BackGroundColor usage

Aspose.Cells Product Family

I am trying to change the background color using the styles using the following code.

excel = new Excel();
styles = excel.Styles;
//Set CategoryName style
styleIndex = styles.Add();
styleCategoryName = styles[styleIndex];
styleCategoryName.BackgroundColor = Color.Yellow;
styleCategoryName.ForegroundColor = Color.Black;
styleCategoryName.Font.Size = 14;
styleCategoryName.Font.IsBold = true;
cells[“A1”].Style = styleCategoryName;

While the text in cell A1 does have the correct font, the background isn’t yellow. Am I implementing this incorrectly?

I forgot to mention that I tried searching the forum for “BackgroundColor” and recieved an error page.

Hi,

In default state, the pattern of a style is BackGroupType.None. In this pattern, only foreground color will take effect. You can set the foreground color to yellow. Then the cell color will be yellow.
