XRTableCellCollection.Add(XRTableCell) Method

Appends the specified XRTableCell to the table row’s collection of cells.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraReports.UI

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraReports.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Reporting.Core

Declaration

C#

public int Add(
    XRTableCell cell
)

VB.NET

Public Function Add(
    cell As XRTableCell
) As Integer

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
cell	XRTableCell	An XRTableCell object to append to the collection.

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	An integer value specifying the index of the new element in the collection. This method adds the XRTableCell object to the end of the collection.

Remarks

This method is intended to be used instead of the XRControlCollection.Add when a cell is added to a table row.

Note

If you’re creating an XRTable object at runtime and manually add XRTableRow and XRTableCell objects to it, it is always required to enclose this code inside the XRTable.BeginInit and XRTable.EndInit method calls. Also, the final size of the table doesn’t consider the size of table rows and table cells being added to it. So, you need to manually set the table size and width before calling the XRTable.EndInit method.

Example

The code sample below illustrates how to create an XRTable at runtime.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraReports.UI;
// ...
// Create a report.
XtraReport report = new XtraReport();

// Create a detail band and add it to the report.
DetailBand detailBand = new DetailBand();
report.Bands.Add(detailBand);

// Create a table.
XRTable table = new XRTable();

// Add rows and colums to the table.
int numRows = 10;
int numCols = 20;

table.BeginInit();

for (int i = 0; i < numRows; i++) {
    XRTableRow row = new XRTableRow();
    table.Rows.Add(row);

    for (int j = 0; j < numCols; j++) {
        XRTableCell cell = new XRTableCell();
        table.Rows[i].Cells.Add(cell);
    }
}

// Set table size.
table.HeightF = 50;
table.WidthF = 500;

table.EndInit();

// Add the table to the detail band and adjust the band height.
detailBand.Controls.Add(table);
detailBand.HeightF = table.HeightF;

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraReports.UI
' ...
            ' Create a report.
            Dim report As New XtraReport()

            ' Create a detail band and add it to the report.
            Dim detailBand As New DetailBand()
            report.Bands.Add(detailBand)

            ' Create a table.
            Dim table As New XRTable()

            ' Add rows and colums to the table.
            Dim numRows As Integer = 10
            Dim numCols As Integer = 20

            table.BeginInit()

            For i As Integer = 0 To numRows - 1
                Dim row As New XRTableRow()
                table.Rows.Add(row)

                For j As Integer = 0 To numCols - 1
                    Dim cell As New XRTableCell()
                    table.Rows(i).Cells.Add(cell)
                Next j
            Next i

            ' Set table size.
            table.HeightF = 50
            table.WidthF = 500

            table.EndInit()

            ' Add the table to the detail band and adjust the band height.
            detailBand.Controls.Add(table)
            detailBand.HeightF = table.HeightF
