  1. Create a new C# console application project.

Create Console application in Visual Studio

  1. Install  Syncfusion.DocIO.WinForms NuGet package as a reference to your .NET Framework applications from NuGet.org.

Add DocIO NuGet package reference to the project

  1. Include the following namespace in the Program.cs file.

C#

using Syncfusion.DocIO;
using Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS;

VB

Imports Syncfusion.DocIO
Imports Syncfusion.DocIO.DLS
  1. Use the following code example to insert a row with the same formatting in the table

C#

//Open an existing Word document.
using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument("Sample.docx"))
{
    //Get the table from a Word document.
    WTable table = document.Sections[0].Tables[0] as WTable;
    //Clone the row.
    WTableRow row = table.Rows[0].Clone();
    //Iterate all cells in a row and clear the contents.
    for (int i = 0; i < row.Cells.Count; i++)
    {
        WTableCell tableCell = row.Cells[i];
        tableCell.ChildEntities.Clear();
    }
    //Insert a new paragraph to the first cell.
    WParagraph cellParagraph = row.Cells[0].AddParagraph() as WParagraph;
    //Set text to the paragraph.
    IWTextRange textRange = cellParagraph.AppendText("New row's first cell");
    //Insert a row into the table in a specific index.
    table.Rows.Insert(2, row);
    //Save a Word document.
    document.Save("Result.docx", FormatType.Docx);
}

VB

'Open an existing Word document.
Using document As WordDocument = New WordDocument("Sample.docx")
    'Get the table from a Word document.
    Dim table As WTable = CType(document.Sections(0).Tables(0), WTable)
    'Clone the row.
    Dim row As WTableRow = table.Rows(0).Clone
    Dim i As Integer = 0
    'Iterate all cells in a row and clear the contents.
    Do While (i < row.Cells.Count)
        Dim tableCell As WTableCell = row.Cells(i)
        tableCell.ChildEntities.Clear()
        i = (i + 1)
    Loop
    'Insert a new paragraph to the first cell.
    Dim cellParagraph As WParagraph = CType(row.Cells(0).AddParagraph, WParagraph)
    'Set text to the paragraph.
    Dim textRange As IWTextRange = cellParagraph.AppendText("New row's first cell")
    'Insert a row into the table in a specific index.
