Different paragraphFormat for table header

Hi,

I noticed something that seemed as a strange behavior to me, so I thought I’d get your view on this. I’m creating a simple table and want the header line to have a different shade and use a specific paragraph format then the rest of the table.

I assign a ParagraphFormat and CellFormat right after creating the table, then clear both after the first EndRow(). What I get is that the last header cell is shaded, but the paragraph style is not applied…

I assumed that the EndRow() would also have ended the paragraph… Is there anything I did not do correctly?

I use the following code :

Aspose.Words.Table table;
table = StartTable(builder);

builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = USER_STYLE_HEADER;
builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = System.Drawing.Color.LightGray;

for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Columns.Count; ++i)
{
    builder.InsertCell();
    builder.Write(ds.Tables[0].Columns[i].ColumnName);
}
builder.EndRow();

builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
builder.CellFormat.ClearFormatting();

for (int i = 0; i < ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count; ++i)
{
    row = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i];

    for (int j = 0; j < ds.Tables[0].Columns.Count; ++j)
    {
        builder.InsertCell();
        builder.Write(row[j].ToString());
    }

    builder.EndRow();
}
builder.EndTable();

Thanks,

Dominic.

I seem to have found a work-around :

builder.MoveToDocumentEnd();
builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
builder.CellFormat.ClearFormatting();

Hi
It is very nice that you have found the solution independently. This occurs because builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting(); clears formating of the current paragraph. You can also clear the paragraph formating after inserting the first cell of the second row.
Best regards.
