Hi all,

I'm trying to add a table row, and cell to the row and also set the colour
of the cell, I seem only able to do this with the pre-defined colours - I
cant for example use #cc66cc ...

tblHeader.Width.Percentage(100%)

Dim Row As New TableRow
Dim Cell As New TableCell

Cell.Text = "<img src=""../Images/Misc/invis.gif"" width=""10""
height=""10"" border=""0"">"
Cell.BackColor = Cell.BackColor.DarkKhaki()
Cell.Width.Percentage(100%)

tblHeader.Rows.Add(Row)
Row.Cells.Add(Cell)

In addition - I also seem unable to set any of the properties for the table
itself, the width 100% at the top here for example doesn't do what I
expected...

In normal HTML if I set a table to 100% and then had one row with one cell,
the cell would also be 100% - this isn't happening :(

Any info would be appreciated, I've search google for a bit and tried the
help within Visual Studio but no joy thus far...the only examples I can find
seem to be on how to add the rows and cells, not how to change their display
settings etc..

Regards

Rob
 
Rob,

You can use the System.Drawing.ColorTranslator class to create a Color
instance from an HTML color string. e.g.:

Cell.BackColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#cc66cc")


To set the width of the cell or table to a percentage value, use the
Percentage method of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit structure. e.g.:

tblHeader.Width = Unit.Percentage(100)
