Creating Tables

In This Topic

You can display data in a table in the control. The table has options to filter or sort the data.

You can use default styles for the table or create custom styles for the table or various sections of the table with the TableStyle class. The following image displays a default table style:

Table with default style

You can use a cell range or the DataSource property for the table data.

The row count for the table includes the header and footer rows. Tables support frozen rows and columns, sparklines, conditional formats, and cell spans. You can cut, copy, or paste the table data.

Tables can be exported to or imported from Excel-formatted files.

A cell can only exist in one table.

Using Code

The following example uses the AddTable method to add a table to the control.

public class lname { public string last { get; set; } public int val { get; set; } public lname(string last, int val) { this.last = last; this.val = val; } } private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { lname[] arr = new lname[] { new lname("Smith", 100), new lname("Fender", 3), new lname("Gill", 5) }; gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].AddTable("Table1", 0, 0, arr); gcSpreadSheet1.Invalidate();
