format table cells

[Administrator]

I have created a table to be published from a dataset. Is there any way to go through the cells of the pdf table and change the width/height based on the the data that is in that cell?

Hi Matt, We can change the width/height of rows and columns based on the data that in that cell. 1) To change the column width use

table.Columns[ index ].Width 

2) To change the row height use

table.Rows[index].Height

3) To get the Column name of the data source use

table.Columns[ index ].DataColumnName 

4) To measure the size of the string use MeasureString() Method of IPDFGraphics. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Regards, Ajish. Here is a sample for you to refer >I have created a table to be published from a dataset.

I see in that example, measureString is used on the dataColumnName, but I want to measure the string that is in the cell. I have tried using Table.rows(i).cells(j).Value to get the contents of the cell, but that always returns a null value. Is there a way to get the contents of the table cell? >Hi Matt, > >We can change the width/height of rows and columns based on the data that in that cell. > >1) To change the column width use >

Hi Matt,

Currently in Essential PDF, it is only possible to set the height of the entire row or width of the entire column as whole it is not possible to have separate width/height dimension for a single cell. Regarding cell value issue table.Row[ index].cell[index]. Value is used to set value to a particular cell and it cannot be used to get value of the cell. However I will consult with development team and will update you when I hear back.

Thanks,
Ajish.
