Problems with background and borders

Hi, this is some sample code i’m trying to get to work.



Dim style As Style = xlApp.Styles(xlApp.Styles.Add)

With style.Font

.Name = “Arial”

.Size = 12

.IsStrikeout = False

.IsSubscript = False

.IsSuperscript = False

.Underline = FontUnderlineType.None

End With

style.Custom = “#,##0.00_);(#,##0.00)”

style.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid

style.ForegroundColor = Drawing.Color.FromArgb(204, 255, 204)



column = “K”

xlWSheet.Cells(11, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = style

xlWSheet.Cells(80, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = style

xlWSheet.Cells(82, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = style

xlWSheet.Cells(140, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = style



Dim additionalstyle As Style = xlApp.Styles(xlApp.Styles.Add)

additionalstyle.Copy(style)

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.BottomBorder).LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.RightBorder).LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.LeftBorder).LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.TopBorder).LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.BottomBorder).Color = Drawing.Color.Black

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.RightBorder).Color = Drawing.Color.Black

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.LeftBorder).Color = Drawing.Color.Black

additionalstyle.Borders(BorderType.TopBorder).Color = Drawing.Color.Black



xlWSheet.Cells(26, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = additionalstyle

xlWSheet.Cells(31, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = additionalstyle

xlWSheet.Cells(128, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = additionalstyle

xlWSheet.Cells(132, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)).Style = additionalstyle





I get the background color but never the borders. Any suggestions?

Which version of Aspose.Cells are you using? I tried the following code which is same as yours and didn't find any problem.

Excel excel = new Excel();
excel.ChangePalette(Color.FromArgb(204, 255, 204), 55);
Style style = excel.Styles[excel.Styles.Add()];


style.Font.Name = "Arial";
style.Font.Size = 12;

style.Custom = "#,##0.00_);(#,##0.00)";

style.Pattern = BackgroundType.Solid;
style.ForegroundColor = Color.FromArgb(204, 255, 204);

Worksheet xlWSheet = excel.Worksheets[0];

string column = "K";
xlWSheet.Cells[11, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = style;
xlWSheet.Cells[80, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = style;
xlWSheet.Cells[82, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = style;
xlWSheet.Cells[140, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = style;

Style additionalstyle = excel.Styles[excel.Styles.Add()];
additionalstyle.Copy(style);
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.BottomBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.RightBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.LeftBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.TopBorder].LineStyle = CellBorderType.Thin;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.BottomBorder].Color = Color.Black;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.RightBorder].Color = Color.Black;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.LeftBorder].Color = Color.Black;
additionalstyle.Borders[BorderType.TopBorder].Color = Color.Black;

xlWSheet.Cells[26, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = additionalstyle;
xlWSheet.Cells[31, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = additionalstyle;
xlWSheet.Cells[128, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = additionalstyle;
xlWSheet.Cells[132, ExcelHelper.ColumnNameToIndex(column)].Style = additionalstyle;


excel.Save("d:\\test\\abc.xls");

Attached is my output file.

This is the latest version.

thanks for your help Laurence but i’m still not getting the borders around the cells.

Never mind my last reply. I found my problem. I was working in the wrong procedure.



Thanks for your help!
