How do I delete rows from a table?

[Les43625]

I have C# code which locates a bookmark then finds the table inside that bookmark, using:

Code: Select all

BookmarksNavigator navigator = new BookmarksNavigator(spireDoc);
navigator.MoveToBookmark(bkm.Name);
TextBodyPart part = navigator.GetBookmarkContent();
foreach (DocumentObject child in part.BodyItems)
   if (child is Table)
   {
      table =   child as Table;
      break;
   }


This gives me a valid reference to a table object, and when I remove a row, I see in the debugger the row gets removed from the rows collection in the table, but when the final document is printed, all of the rows are still there.

I added to this code the command before removing the row: tableRow.Cells.Clear()
After this, the cells collection shows Count = 0, but when the document prints, all of the cells are still present in the row.

I have tried both table.Rows.RemoveAt(1) and using a reference to the row, table.Rows.Remove(tableRow)
The table object changes in the debugger but the document does not get updated.
Am I using the table object incorrectly?

(using free Spire.Doc to set up a suitable demonstration to request purchasing the product)

Note: My source is a Word .dot template, which I update at various bookmarks, then save the final document as a PDF.

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry!

I tested to remove rows from table with the following code, but not reproduce your issue. The row can be deleted well. Please refer to the code I provided on your side, if the issue still exists, please provide us with the input Word file for further investigate. Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

            Document document = new Document();
            document.LoadFromFile(@"E:\testdoc\doc2.docx");
            BookmarksNavigator navigator = new BookmarksNavigator(document);
            navigator.MoveToBookmark("table");
            Table table = new Table(document);
            TextBodyPart part = navigator.GetBookmarkContent();
            foreach (DocumentObject child in part.BodyItems)
                if (child is Table)
                {
                    table = child as Table;
                    break;
                }

            table.Rows.RemoveAt(1);
            //apply the change
            navigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(part);
            document.SaveToFile("res.docx");

Thank you! I was thinking that the table object was a reference to the document content. The method call navigator.ReplaceBookmarkContent(part) was what I was missing.
