Working with Tables
Essential PDF provides support for two types of table models, both having a different levels of customization, which is explained below. The two types of table models are
Creating a simple table
Creating a simple table using PdfLightTable in a new document
Essential PDF allows you to create the table with DataSource from DataSet, Data Table, arrays and IEnumerable objects using PdfLightTable class. It allows you to perform simple formatting.
NOTE
In Silverlight, Windows store apps and Xamarin only strongly typed IEnumerable objects are supported.
The below code snippet illustrates how to create a simple table from a data source using PdfLightTable.
//Create a new PDF document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page.
PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();
// Create a PdfLightTable.
PdfLightTable pdfLightTable = new PdfLightTable();
// Initialize DataTable to assign as DateSource to the light table.
DataTable table = new DataTable();
//Include columns to the DataTable.
table.Columns.Add("Name");
table.Columns.Add("Age");
table.Columns.Add("Sex");
//Include rows to the DataTable.
table.Rows.Add(new string[] { "abc", "21", "Male" });
//Assign data source.
pdfLightTable.DataSource = table;
//Draw PdfLightTable.
pdfLightTable.Draw(page, new PointF(0, 0));
//Save the document.
doc.Save("Output.pdf");
//Close the document
doc.Close(true);'Create a new PDF document.
Dim doc As New PdfDocument()
'Add a page.
Dim page As PdfPage = doc.Pages.Add()
' Create a PdfLightTable.
Dim pdfLightTable As New PdfLightTable()

Dim table As New DataTable()
'Include columns to the DataTable.
table.Columns.Add("Name")

table.Columns.Add("Sex")
'Include rows to the DataTable.
table.Rows.Add(New String() {"abc", "21", "Male"})
'Assign data source.
pdfLightTable.DataSource = table
'Draw PdfLightTable.
pdfLightTable.Draw(page, New PointF(0, 0))
'Save the document.
doc.Save("Output.pdf")
'Close the document
doc.Close(True)//Create a new PDF document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page.
PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();
// Create a PdfLightTable.
PdfLightTable pdfLightTable = new PdfLightTable();
//Add values to list
List<object> data = new List<object>();
object row = new { Name = "abc", Age = "21", Sex = "Male" };
data.Add(row);
//Add list to IEnumerable
IEnumerable<object> table = data;
//Assign data source.
pdfLightTable.DataSource = table;
//Draw PdfLightTable.
pdfLightTable.Draw(page, new PointF(0, 0));
//Save the PDF document to stream.
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
await doc.SaveAsync(stream);
//Close the document.
doc.Close(true);
//Save the stream as PDF document file in local machine. Refer to PDF/UWP section for respected code samples.

// Create a PdfLightTable.

//Add list to IEnumerable
IEnumerable<object> table = data;
//Assign data source.
pdfLightTable.DataSource = table;
//Draw PdfLightTable.
pdfLightTable.Draw(page, new Syncfusion.Drawing.PointF(0, 0));
//Creating the stream object
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
//Save the PDF document to stream.
doc.Save(stream);
//If the position is not set to '0' then the PDF will be empty.
stream.Position = 0;
//Close the document.
doc.Close(true);
//Defining the ContentType for pdf file.
string contentType = "application/pdf";
//Define the file name.

//Creates a FileContentResult object by using the file contents, content type, and file name.
return File(stream, contentType, fileName);//Create a new PDF document.

}You can directly add rows and columns instead of a data source, by setting DataSourceType property to TableDirect of PdfLightTableDataSourceType Enum.
The following code illustrates how to add the data directly into the PdfLightTable.
//Create a new PDF document.
PdfDocument doc = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page.
PdfPage page = doc.Pages.Add();
//Acquire page's graphics.
PdfGraphics graphics = page.Graphics;

//Create columns.
pdfLightTable.Columns.Add(new PdfColumn("Roll Number"));
pdfLightTable.Columns.Add(new PdfColumn("Name"));
pdfLightTable.Columns.Add(new PdfColumn("Class"));
//Add rows.
pdfLightTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "111", "Maxim", "III" });

}Creating a simple table using PdfGrid in a new document
PdfGrid allows you to create table by entering the data manually or from an external data source. The DataSource can be a data set, data table, arrays or a IEnumerable object.
NOTE
In Silverlight, Windows store apps and Xamarin only strongly typed IEnumerable objects are supported.
The below code snippet illustrates how to create a simple table from a data source using PdfGrid.

}Built-in table styles
In-built table styles can be applied to both PdfGrid and PdfLightTable models and the appearance is made similar to Microsoft Word’s built-in table styles. You can also apply in-built table styles with the following additional table style options.
- Banded columns
- Banded rows
- First column
- Last column
- Header row
- Last row
The below code example illustrates how to apply built-in table style using ApplyBuiltinStyle method of the PdfGrid with styles from PdfGridBuiltinStyle Enum.

}Adding multiple tables
The Essential PDF supports maintaining the position of a PDF grid drawn on PDF page using PdfGridLayoutResult. It provides the rendered bounds of previously added grid, which can be used to place successive elements without overlapping. You can add multiple PDF grids using the bottom position of previously rendered PDF grid. The following code snippet illustrates this.
//Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();
//Add a page
PdfPage page = document.Pages.Add();
//Create a new PdfGrid instance

}Table cell styles
Essential PDF allows you to add different styles like background color using BackgroundBrush, background image using BackgroundImage, border using Borders, cell dimension by setting row Height and column Width, along with spanning through RowSpan and ColumnSpan.
The following code snippet explains how to add different cell styles to a cell in PdfGrid.
//Create a new PDF document
PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage pdfPage = pdfDocument.Pages.Add();
//Create a new PdfGrid instance
PdfGrid pdfGrid = new PdfGrid();
//Create a DataTable
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
//Add columns to the DataTable
dataTable.Columns.Add("ID");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Salary");
//Add rows to the DataTable
dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "E01", "Clay", "$10,000" });
dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "E02", "Thomas", "$10,500" });
dataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { "E03", "Simon", "$12,000" });
//Assign data source to PdfGrid
pdfGrid.DataSource = dataTable;
//Assign row height and column width
pdfGrid.Rows[1].Height = 50;
pdfGrid.Columns[1].Width = 100;
//Initialize PdfGridCellStyle and set background color
PdfGridCellStyle gridCellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle();
gridCellStyle.BackgroundBrush = PdfBrushes.Yellow;
//Assign background color to a PdfGridCell
PdfGridCell gridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[0].Cells[0];
gridCell.Style = gridCellStyle;
//Initialize PdfGridCellStyle and set background image
gridCellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle();
gridCellStyle.BackgroundImage = PdfImage.FromFile("Autumn Leaves.jpg");
//Assign background image to a PdfGridCell
gridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[1].Cells[1];
gridCell.Style = gridCellStyle;
gridCell.ImagePosition = PdfGridImagePosition.Fit;
//Initialize PdfGridCellStyle and set the border color
gridCellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle();
gridCellStyle.Borders.All = PdfPens.Red;
//Assign the border color to a PdfGridCell
gridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[2].Cells[2];
gridCell.Style = gridCellStyle;
//Initialize PdfGridCellStyle and set text color
gridCellStyle = new PdfGridCellStyle();
gridCellStyle.TextBrush = PdfBrushes.DarkBlue;
//Assign text color to a PdfGridCell
gridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[0].Cells[2];
gridCell.Style = gridCellStyle;
//Set the column span
pdfGrid.Rows[2].Cells[0].ColumnSpan = 2;
//Initialize PdfStringFormat and set the properties
PdfStringFormat stringFormat = new PdfStringFormat();
stringFormat.Alignment = PdfTextAlignment.Center;
stringFormat.LineAlignment = PdfVerticalAlignment.Middle;
//Set the PdfStringFormat to PdfGridCell
gridCell = pdfGrid.Rows[2].Cells[0];
gridCell.StringFormat = str
