addin word document in c# - template style - crash?

[bkenwright]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had done any C# office word addin coding?

Everything is great - except I can't seem to work out how to add custom table styles. I can add normal styles. But want to specify and add table styles particularly.

For example, I was trying this:

Word.Selection sel = application.Selection;
Word.Table table = null;
table = sel.Tables.Add( sel.Range, 1, 2 );
table.set_Style("ANewStyle"); //<-- causes an assert exception

So I've been wondering, how to add a table style and details to the word office design?

Thanx,

Ben

Hello,
If you're creating a non сommercial project you may want a look at OpenXML:

For commercial purposes i would recommend you this C# Word component.
It allows easy customization of the document styles:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using Docs.Word;

namespace SampleManager
{
class Tables_Style
{
internal static Document Main1()
{
// Open a source document and gets both tables
Document Doc = Document.ReadDocX("Temp.docx");
Table Table1 = (Table)Doc.Sections[0].Nodes[0];
Table Table2 = (Table)Doc.Sections[0].Nodes[2];

// Change style properties of 1st table
Table1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Style.Shading = new Shading(Color.Yellow);
Table1.Rows[1].Cells[1].Style.Shading = new Shading(Color.Tomato, Color.Violet, ShadingStyle.HorizontalStripe);
Table1.Rows[1].Cells[0].Style.Borders.Bottom = new Border(2, Color.Blue);

// Change style properties of 2nd table
Table2.Rows[0].Cells[0].Style.Width.Width = 240;
Table2.Rows[1].Cells[1].Style.Borders = new Borders(3, Color.Red);

return Doc;
}
}
}
