Hi,

I am trying to set up set the background cell using the following

The font color changes to silver but the background color does not change.

Here is code

For i As Integer = 4 To 10

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.Font.IsBold = True

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.HorizontalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Silver

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.VerticalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.

Next

Thanks in advance..

I change the code to the following

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.Font.IsBold = True

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.HorizontalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center

' reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.Font.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Silver

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.VerticalAlignment = TextAlignmentType.Center

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.BackgroundColor = Color.Blue

It still does not work. But if i change BackgroundType to anything else e.g gray75 it shows the blue color.Please help

Thanks again..

Background color only takes effect when the pattern is not solid or none. Please set the foreground color:

reportWS.Cells(4, i).Style.ForegroundColor = Color.Blue
