public Cell(DocumentBase doc)
ParameterTypeDescription

Examples

Shows how to build a nested table without using a document builder.

public void CreateNestedTable()
{
    Document doc = new Document();

    // Create the outer table with three rows and four columns, and then add it to the document.
    Table outerTable = CreateTable(doc, 3, 4, "Outer Table");
    doc.FirstSection.Body.AppendChild(outerTable);

    // Create another table with two rows and two columns and then insert it into the first table's first cell.
    Table innerTable = CreateTable(doc, 2, 2, "Inner Table");
    outerTable.FirstRow.FirstCell.AppendChild(innerTable);

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Table.CreateNestedTable.docx");
}

/// <summary>
/// Creates a new table in the document with the given dimensions and text in each cell.
/// </summary>
private static Table CreateTable(Document doc, int rowCount, int cellCount, string cellText)
{
    Table table = new Table(doc);

    for (int rowId = 1; rowId <= rowCount; rowId++)
    {
        Row row = new Row(doc);
        table.AppendChild(row);

        for (int cellId = 1; cellId <= cellCount; cellId++)
        {
            Cell cell = new Cell(doc);
            cell.AppendChild(new Paragraph(doc));
            cell.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc, cellText));

            row.AppendChild(cell);
        }
    }

    // You can use the "Title" and "Description" properties to add a title and description respectively to your table.
    // The table must have at least one row before we can use these properties.
    // These properties are meaningful for ISO / IEC 29500 compliant .docx documents (see the OoxmlCompliance class).
    // If we save the document to pre-ISO/IEC 29500 formats, Microsoft Word ignores these properties.
    table.Title = "Aspose table title";
    table.Description = "Aspose table description";

    return table;
}
