Hi Customer,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

On analyzing, we have prepared the sample to meet your requirement. In the sample we have achieved the mentioned scenario with the following steps.  

(1) Adds the table to the document section.
(2) Sets the first row of the table as table header row.
(3) Append text to each column.
(4) We have found the maximum column width by measuring the text width using Graphics.MeasureString() method for each cell text content.
(5) Sets the maximum column width to each column of the table.

We have attached the sample for your reference. Try running the sample and let us know whether it helps you?

thanks, I get   "A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in SyncfusionWrapper.dll", somewhere in "     foreach (WTableRow row in table.Rows)
                {
                    foreach (WTableCell cell in row.Cells)
                    {

                        //cell.CellFormat.Paddings.All = 5;
                        float textWidth = MeasureString(cell.LastParagraph.ChildEntities.LastItem as WTextRange);
                        if (textWidth > maxColumnWidth)
                            maxColumnWidth = textWidth;
                    }
                }"


Can you help ?

Hi Customer,

Thank you for your update.

On analyzing on the reported “Null reference Exception”, we found that the exception occurred due to accessing inappropriate child entity (there might be the chance of occurrences some other paragraph items like WPicture, BookmarkStart, BookmarkEnd, etc) from the paragraph entity collection. We have modified the sample to access the child entity of the paragraph with iterations. Please find the below code snippet for more understanding.

Code Snippet:

 

//To iterate the paragraphs of the cell 

foreach (WParagraph paragraph in cell.Paragraphs) 

{ 

   //To iterate the child entities of the paragraph 

   foreach (Entity entity in paragraph.ChildEntities) 

   { 

       //To Access the text range 

       if (entity is WTextRange) 

       { 

           //To measure the string width 

           float textWidth = MeasureString(entity as WTextRange); 

           if (textWidth > maxColumnWidth) 

           maxColumnWidth = textWidth; 

       } 

   } 

} 

We have attached the modified sample for your reference. Please find the modified sample from the below link.
