Dynamic table alternating row colors

Hey guys,

Is it possible to make dynamic tables have alternating row colors, much like .Net’s datagrid control?

Here’s an example:

I am currently using Aspose.Words v1.1.4322

Thanks.

Hi
Thanks for your inquiry. I think that you can try to change background color. See the following code example.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
//generate table
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++)
    {
        builder.CellFormat.Width = 100;
        builder.InsertCell();
        //change background
        if (i % 2 != 0)
        {
            builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.Gray;
        }
        else
        {
            builder.CellFormat.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = Color.White;
        }
    }
    builder.EndRow();
}
builder.EndTable();
doc.Save(@"out.doc");

I hope that this will help you.
Also, I would advise to use the latest version of Aspose.Words.
The latest version of Aspose.Words is available for download from here.
Best regards.

Ahh okay. I coded something like that yesterday, but was wondering if there was a simple property to set like the .net datagrid. This works though.

Thanks, Alexey.
