Format Ranges

Setting Background Color and Font Attributes to a Named Range

To apply formatting, define a Style object to specify the style settings and apply it to the Range object.

Adding Borders to a Named Range

It is possible to add borders to a range of cells instead of just a single cell. The Range object provides a SetOutlineBorder method that takes the following parameters to add a border to the range of cells:

• Border type, the type of border, selected from the BorderType enumeration.
• Line style, the line style, selected from the CellBorderType enumeration.
• Color, the line color, selected from the Color enumeration.

The following example shows how to set an outline border to a range.

Intersection of Ranges

Aspose.Cells provides the Range.Intersect method to intersect two ranges. The method returns a Range object. To check whether a range intersects another range, use the Range.Intersect method that returns a Boolean value. The following example shows how to intersect the ranges.
