RowCollection.Remove(Int32, Int32) Method

Removes multiple rows from the worksheet.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

void Remove(
    int index,
    int count
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
index Int32

A zero-based index of the first row to remove. If it is negative or exceeds the last available index (1048575), an exception occurs.

count Int32

Specifies the number of rows to remove.

Remarks

The number of rows in a worksheet is unchanged - 1,048,576. When you delete rows, other rows in the worksheet are shifted up and the equivalent number of new rows is automatically added to the end of the worksheet’s row collection.

If you need to delete only the cell content or formatting from rows without removing entire rows from the worksheet, use the Clear* methods of the Worksheet object (see the How to: Clear Cells of Content, Formatting, Hyperlinks and Comments example).

You can also hide unnecessary rows without deleting them from the worksheet. To do this, use the Row.Visible property (see the How to: Hide a Row or a Column example).

Example

This example demonstrates how to remove rows from a worksheet.

When you delete rows from a worksheet, other rows are automatically shifted up.

Enclose your code in the Workbook.BeginUpdate - Workbook.EndUpdate method calls to improve performance when you remove multiple rows from a document.

View Example

// Delete the 2nd row from the worksheet.
worksheet.Rows[1].Delete();

// Delete the 3rd row from the worksheet.
worksheet.Rows.Remove(2);

// Delete three rows from the worksheet starting from the 10th row.
worksheet.Rows.Remove(9, 3);

// Delete a row that contains the "B2"cell.
worksheet.DeleteCells(worksheet.Cells["B2"], DeleteMode.EntireRow);
