Cell Border Question

Aspose.Cells Product Family

I have a template worksheet that I have defined column borders in. When I copy the worksheet into a new workbook and add data the borders are only visible for the cells that contained data pre-copy. What is the quickest way to set the borders for cells in these columns? The example in the wiki shows a seperate call for every border side at the cell level. Is there an easier method?

Hi,

Thanks for considering Aspose.

Following is a sample code which sets the inside borders to all the cells in the column "C":

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

Column col = workbook.Worksheets[0].Cells.Columns[2];

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.TopBorder].Color = Color.Red;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.TopBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Medium;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.BottomBorder].Color = Color.Red;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.BottomBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Medium;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.LeftBorder].Color = Color.Red;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.LeftBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Medium;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.RightBorder].Color = Color.Red;

col.Style.Borders[BorderType.RightBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Medium;

workbook.Save(@"d:\testborders1.xls",FileFormatType.Excel2003);

You may also try to set an outline border to a range of cells with the following sample code:

Workbook workbook = new Workbook();

Cells cells = workbook.Worksheets[0].Cells;

Range range = cells.CreateRange("B2", "N30");

range.SetOutlineBorder(BorderType.TopBorder, CellBorderType.Medium, Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 128));

range.SetOutlineBorder(BorderType.BottomBorder, CellBorderType.Medium, Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 128));

range.SetOutlineBorder(BorderType.LeftBorder, CellBorderType.Medium, Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 128));

range.SetOutlineBorder(BorderType.RightBorder, CellBorderType.Medium, Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 128));

workbook.Save(@"d:\testborders.xls",FileFormatType.Excel2003);

Could you post us your template file, so that we may sort out your issue related borders of the cells when copying worksheet to other Workbook.

Thank you
