To crate a table, at this blog post, you'll find a sample code in C# that should work for you. The result should look like the image below.
And here is the source code. After creating the table, if you really need the texts, you can call .Explode() on it and extract all the text entities.
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
namespace TableCreation
{
public class Commands
{
[CommandMethod("CRT")]
static public void CreateTable()
{
Document doc =
Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database db = doc.Database;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
PromptPointResult pr =
ed.GetPoint("\nEnter table insertion point: ");
if (pr.Status == PromptStatus.OK)
{
Table tb = new Table();
tb.TableStyle = db.Tablestyle;
tb.NumRows = 5;
tb.NumColumns = 3;
tb.SetRowHeight(3);
tb.SetColumnWidth(15);
tb.Position = pr.Value;
// Create a 2-dimensional array
// of our table contents
string[,] str = new string[5, 3];
str[0, 0] = "Part No.";
str[0, 1] = "Name ";
str[0, 2] = "Material ";
str[1, 0] = "1876-1";
str[1, 1] = "Flange";
str[1, 2] = "Perspex";
str[2, 0] = "0985-4";
str[2, 1] = "Bolt";
str[2, 2] = "Steel";
str[3, 0] = "3476-K";
str[3, 1] = "Tile";
str[3, 2] = "Ceramic";
str[4, 0] = "8734-3";
str[4, 1] = "Kean";
str[4, 2] = "Mostly water";
// Use a nested loop to add and format each cell
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++)
{
tb.SetTextHeight(i, j, 1);
tb.SetTextString(i, j, str[i, j]);
tb.SetAlignment(i, j, CellAlignment.MiddleCenter);
}
}
tb.GenerateLayout();
Transaction tr =
doc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction();

How to show unbound columns in a bound DataGridView using c# winforms

I have a DataGridView which i am populating as shown below.This DataGridView has 7 columns, where 1st, 4th & 6th columns respectively would be unbound and the rest would be bound columns.Now my requirement is
1] In column[0], i want to show an autoincrement integer value like "Serial No." 1,2,3.....n
2] At column[4], i want to show an icon/image from an imagelist.
3] At column[6], i want to show a Button control
try
{
using (FbConnection conLLV = new FbConnection(connectionString))
{
conLLV.Open();
using (FbCommand cmdLLV = new FbCommand(sqlQryLLV, conLLV))
{
cmdLLV.Parameters.Add("#t_id", FbDbType.Integer).Value = tid;
cmdLLV.Parameters.Add("#mem_id", FbDbType.Integer).Value = mid;
cmdLLV.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
using (FbDataAdapter daLLV = new FbDataAdapter(cmdLLV))
{
using (DataTable dtLLV = new DataTable())
{
daLLV.Fill(dtLLV);
dgSSW.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
dgSSW.ColumnCount = 7;
//At Column[0] ->a Serial No column
dgSSW.Columns[1].Name = "subsec_name";
dgSSW.Columns[1].HeaderText = "Sub Section Name";
dgSSW.Columns[1].DataPropertyName = "subsec_name";
dgSSW.Columns[2].Name = "rt_correct_ans";
dgSSW.Columns[2].HeaderText = "Correct Answer";
dgSSW.Columns[2].DataPropertyName = "rt_correct_ans";
dgSSW.Columns[3].Name = "rt_your_ans";
dgSSW.Columns[3].HeaderText = "Your Answer";
dgSSW.Columns[3].DataPropertyName = "rt_your_ans";
//At Column[4] ->an Image column
dgSSW.Columns[5].Name = "q_r_difficulty";
dgSSW.Columns[5].HeaderText = "Difficulty Level";
dgSSW.Columns[5].DataPropertyName = "q_r_difficulty";
//At Column[6] ->a column having a Button control
dgSSW.DataSource = dtLLV;
}//data table closed and disposed here
}// data adapter closed and disposed up here
}// command disposed here
}//connection closed and disposed here
}
catch (FbException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("LLV--" + ex.Message);
}
How can i achieve my requirements please advise using codes.I have searched the internet but the solutions given does not match my requirements.

possible solution by steps:
0] set datasource
dgSSW.DataSource = dtLLV;
1] row numbers: add column for them and apply cell formatting
var col0 = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn
{
HeaderText = "#", Name="RowNum",
ReadOnly = true,
Width = 10
};
dgSSW.Columns.Insert(0, col0);
dgSSW.CellFormatting += GridCellFormatting;
private void GridCellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
if (dgSSW.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "RowNum")
{
e.Value = (e.RowIndex + 1).ToString();
}
}
2] image column:
var col3 = new DataGridViewImageColumn { HeaderText = "Pic", Name = "Pic" };
dgSSW.Columns.Insert(4, col3);
// set image for a cell
dgSSW["Pic", 0].Value = Resources.add;
3] buttons column with clicks handling
var col7 = new DataGridViewButtonColumn
{
HeaderText = "Proceed", Name = "Action",
Text = "+",
UseColumnTextForButtonValue = true
};
dgSSW.Columns.Add(col7);
dgSSW.CellContentClick += GridCellContentClick;
private void GridCellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (dgSSW.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "Action")
{
MessageBox.Show((e.RowIndex + 1).ToString());
}
}
update: since you don't use AutoGenerateColumns and create all columns manually, you can create all col0, col3, col7 and after that set DataSource

Dynamically add range values to excel chart with C#

I am trying to generate a chart for a powerpoint slide using C#.net. The chart works perfectly when I hard code the data, so my goal here is to be able to populate the excel backend from my applications datatable. What i need help with is defining the data ranges(see below)
var areaworkbook = (EXCEL.Workbook)areachart.ChartData.Workbook;
areaworkbook.Windows.Application.Visible = false;
var dataSheet2 = (EXCEL.Worksheet)areaworkbook.Worksheets[1];
var sc2 = areachart.SeriesCollection();
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["A2"].Value2 = "Name 1";
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["A3"].Value2 = "Name 2";
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["A4"].Value2 = "Name 3";
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["A5"].Value2 = "Name 4";
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["B2"].Value2 = Value 1;
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["B3"].Value2 = value 2;
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["B4"].Value2 = value 3;
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["B5"].Value2 = value 4 ;
var series2 = sc2.NewSeries();
series2.Name = "Series 2";
series2.XValues = "'Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$5";
series2.Values = "'Sheet1'!$C$2:$C$5";
series2.ChartType = Office.XlChartType.xlAreaStacked;
areachart.HasTitle = true;
areachart.ChartTitle.Font.Bold = true;
areachart.ChartTitle.Font.Italic = true;
areachart.ApplyLayout(4);
areachart.Refresh();
How will I dynamically add A6, A7, A8... until my datatable is complete?

Just use a loop and calculate the cell address. For the sake of argument, I'm going to assume the data is coming from a Linq query, though you could get it any other way.
int row = 2; // You expect to start here
foreach (var data in db.MyData().Where(... whatever you need here ...))
{
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["A" + row].Value2 = data.Name;
dataSheet1.Cells.Range["B" + row].Value2 = data.Value;
row++;
}
series2.XValues = "'Sheet1'!$A$2:$A$" + row;
series2.Values = "'Sheet1'!$C$2:$C$" + row;

Auto generated Gridview - Change columns width

i'm in a trouble!
I'm generating a lot of gridviews dinamically, with dinamic values to columns.
The columns are ever the same.
I want to know how can i set the size of this columns.
That's my code, with my effort.
private void generateControls( List<List<DataRow>> grids)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
int i = 0;
foreach (List<DataRow> lst in grids)
{
dt = lst.CopyToDataTable();
GridView grv = new GridView();
grv.AlternatingRowStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromName("#cccccc");
grv.HeaderStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gray;
grv.Width = new Unit("100%");
//grv.RowStyle.Wrap = false;
grv.RowStyle.Width = new Unit("100%");
grv.ID = "grid_view" + i;
grv.DataSource = dt;
grv.DataBind();
/* grv.Columns[0].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("5%");
grv.Columns[1].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("7%");
grv.Columns[2].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("12%");
grv.Columns[3].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("12%");
grv.Columns[4].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("7%");
grv.Columns[5].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("7%");
grv.Columns[6].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("23%");
grv.Columns[7].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("22%");
grv.Columns[8].ItemStyle.Width = new Unit("5%");*/
Label lblBlankLines = new Label();
lblBlankLines.Text = "<br />";
Panel panelGrid = new Panel();
panelGrid.ID = "panel_grid" + i;
Label lblTipo = new Label();
string tipoOcorrencia = lst[0]["Ocorrência"].ToString();
/*
* Capitalized
* TextInfo myTI = new CultureInfo("pt-BR", false).TextInfo;
string novoTipoOcorrencia = myTI.ToTitleCase(tipoOcorrencia);*/
int quantidade = lst.Count;
lblTipo.Text = " - " + tipoOcorrencia + ": " + quantidade;
LinkButton lkBtn = new LinkButton();
lkBtn.ID = "link_button" + i;
lkBtn.Text = "Exibir | Ocultar";
lkBtn.Attributes["onClick"] = "javascript:return ocultaGrid('" + panelGrid.ID + "'), false";
panel_status.Controls.Add(lblBlankLines);
panel_status.Controls.Add(lkBtn);
panel_status.Controls.Add(lblTipo);
panelGrid.Controls.Add(grv);
panel_status.Controls.Add(panelGrid);
panel_status.DataBind();
i++;
}
}
I've tried to get the columns, but i got an error, telling me an invalid index access.
How can i access my columns in that gridview?

Use the RowDataBound EventHandler:
Count your indexes and make sure you are not trying to access a non-existent column as well.
See link for an example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178296(v=vs.100).ASPX
grv.RowDataBound += grv_RowDataBound;
private void grv_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
e.Row.Cells[0].Width = new Unit("5%");
e.Row.Cells[1].Width = new Unit("7%");
e.Row.Cells[2].Width = new Unit("12%");
e.Row.Cells[3].Width = new Unit("12%");
e.Row.Cells[4].Width = new Unit("7%");
e.Row.Cells[5].Width = new Unit("7%");
e.Row.Cells[6].Width = new Unit("23%");
e.Row.Cells[7].Width = new Unit("22%");
e.Row.Cells[8].Width = new Unit("5%");
}
}
