Insert Tables into Aspose.Note Documents

Introduction

In this tutorial, we’ll explore how to utilize Aspose.Note for .NET to insert tables into Note documents. Tables are essential for organizing data in a structured format within documents, enhancing readability, and presenting information in a clear manner.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

• Basic understanding of C# programming language.
• Installed Aspose.Note for .NET SDK.
• Integrated development environment (IDE) such as Visual Studio.

Import Namespaces

Before proceeding, import the necessary namespaces:

using System.IO;
using Aspose.Note;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;

Step 1: Initialize Document and Page Objects

To start, create a new Note document and initialize a page within it.

Document doc = new Document();
Aspose.Note.Page page = new Aspose.Note.Page(doc);

Step 2: Create Table Rows and Cells

Next, initialize table rows and cells to structure your table.

TableRow row1 = new TableRow(doc);
TableCell cell11 = new TableCell(doc);
TableCell cell12 = new TableCell(doc);
TableCell cell13 = new TableCell(doc);

Step 3: Populate Table Cells

Add content to each cell of the table.

cell11.AppendChildLast(GetOutlineElementWithText(doc, "cell_1.1"));
cell12.AppendChildLast(GetOutlineElementWithText(doc, "cell_1.2"));
cell13.AppendChildLast(GetOutlineElementWithText(doc, "cell_1.3"));

Step 4: Add Rows to Table

Append the cells to their respective rows.

row1.AppendChildLast(cell11);
row1.AppendChildLast(cell12);
row1.AppendChildLast(cell13);

Step 5: Initialize and Configure Table

Create the table object and set its properties, such as border visibility and column widths.

Table table = new Table(doc)
{
    IsBordersVisible = true,
    Columns = { new TableColumn { Width = 200 }, new TableColumn { Width = 200 }, new TableColumn { Width = 200 } }
};

Step 6: Add Rows to Table

Append the rows containing cells to the table.

table.AppendChildLast(row1);
table.AppendChildLast(row2);

Step 7: Add Table to Document Structure

Incorporate the table into the document structure by adding it to the outline.

Outline outline = new Outline(doc);
OutlineElement outlineElem = new OutlineElement(doc);
outlineElem.AppendChildLast(table);
outline.AppendChildLast(outlineElem);
page.AppendChildLast(outline);
doc.AppendChildLast(page);

Step 8: Save Document

Finally, save the document with the inserted table.

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
dataDir = dataDir + "InsertTable_out.one";
doc.Save(dataDir);
Console.WriteLine("\nTable inserted successfully.\nFile saved at " + dataDir);

Conclusion

In conclusion, utilizing Aspose.Note for .NET provides a seamless way to insert tables into Note documents, enhancing document organization and readability.
