Creating a Mulit-Page Table

[Dan]

Are there any examples of dynamically generating a PDF report that is essentially a formatted table containing data by looping through an object - using this new PdfProcessing control?

Hi Dan,

All the demos available for the RadPdfProcessing library you could find here. A demo, demonstrating how to create a table from a set of objects is not present, but you could check the Table article in our documentation, where is explained how to create and modify such element. After getting familiar with the API, loop through the objects you want to fill the table with and add the values to the cells.

for (int i = 0; i < people.Count; i++)
{
    TableRow row = table.Rows.AddTableRow();
    row.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(people[i].FirstName);
    row.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(people[i].LastName);
    row.Cells.AddTableCell().Blocks.AddBlock().InsertText(people[i].Age.ToString());
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tanya.  I am finally finding a minute to look at this. 

If I take your example and put it in a loop for say 200 passes - the table rows just go off the first page.  Do I need to implement my own paging strategy for the data - or is there something I am missing here that can break a Table across multiple pages automatically?

Nevermind - just realized I needed to use the RadFixedDocumentEditor.InsertTable to get that to work
