How to create a table in PDF document?

(Views :1600)

PdfLightTable class represents simple tables that are used for publishing structured data from arrays, data tables or data columns. We can create a table simply by specifying a new operator with the proper constructor.

DataSource is an object that might be an array (2 dimensional, 1 dimensional or nested), a DataTable, DataColumn, DataView or DataSet. Using Draw() method we can draw the table in PDF document.

// Creating table

PdfLightTable table = new PdfLightTable();

table.DataSourceType = PdfLightTableDataSourceType.External;

// Initializing datasource

table.DataSource = dataTable;

//Set layout properties

PdfLayoutFormat format = new PdfLayoutFormat();

format.Break = PdfLayoutBreakType.FitElement;

format.Layout = PdfLayoutType.Paginate;

// Drawing Table

table.Draw(page,new PointF(0,0),format);

' Creating table

Dim table As PdfLightTable = New PdfLightTable()

table.DataSourceType = PdfLightTableDataSourceType.External

' Initializing datasource

table.DataSource = dataTable

'Set layout properties

Dim format As PdfLayoutFormat = New PdfLayoutFormat()
