How to create and manipulate powerpoint tables using openXML in C# - c#

i am looking at this example on how to manipulate powerpoint templates from C# and the one thing missing is the ability to manipulate rows in a table. Does anyone have any examples of looping through some set of records and adding rows to a powerpoint table
In particular:
Adding and removing rows
Word wrap / auto adjusting heights given text length
Updating text in cells
Dealing with if the number of records would cause the table to span multiple powerpoint slides

In the end, i wound up purchasing aspose.slides which is great and well worth the cost when trying to auto generate powerpoin files.

SQLite - Exclude few column values while loading

I am using Xamarin.Forms and SQLite to develop an enterprise app. I need to show the table structure in UI. The class has around 10 properties (columns). But I need only 6 columns in UI table. The remaining four columns values should be loaded once user selects particular row as those four columns are heavy text blob graph data and I can't afford to load them all along with all rows. I am using this SQLite method database.GetAllWithChildrenAsync<T>(); to load all rows and columns as of now. How to exclude those four column/property values while loading to avoid performance issues? Any help is appreciated as I haven't find much resources online on this.

Displaying Tables from a document in a WPF application

I am working on a small application which reads through the word document and analyze it. The data present in the document are present in the form of tables ,Is there any way to display the data(tabular data) in the application..?
If DGV is the only solution for displaying a table ,Is there any way to bind the Interop table to Datagrid
I don't know if this would be the best approach but this is what I came up with right now. Google shows that there are many solutions to bind Excel to a DataGridView but hardly any for Word. In fact Stack Overflow also has many answers on converting Word to Excel.
Therefore, why not convert the Word contents to Excel and then bind the Excel contents to DGV? It's a roundabout way I know, but something is better than nothing. Here are some links that may help in this regard:
Programatically converting from MS word to Excel
Display excel file content in a Datagridview

Transferring data from Excel to dataGridView
If its just a matter of displaying then directly display the Word document in you WPF application.

How do I create a structure that can be pasted into Excel in C#

I want to create a data structure that I can copy to the clipboard in such a way that the user can paste it into an Excel worksheet and it inserts correctly into the columns and rows of the sheet.
Is there any way to create such a data structure? Or does it already exist?
I would like to avoid having to open up Excel and pasting the values myself because I can't determine if the worksheet will look the same in the future, so I'd rather have the user himself copy the rows and columns where he wants them.
When copying the data to clipboard, format it as Tab separated for columns, and Enter separated for rows. When pasting in Excel it will automatically put the values in rows and columns.
You can copy your data to clipboard in a tab-delimited textual format.
A tab or comma delimited string is the easiest and least technical solution.
Assuming you want something a little more complicated there are some superb libraries around (search CodePlex) which can offer creating Excel documents in managed code.
Or you could use the interop libraries that come ad part of the Visual Studio office integration.
Or you could use the XLSX format based on XML.

OpenXml Spreadsheet. Value filters, styles and unicode characters

because of small documentation i have problems with OpenXml SpreadSheetDocument in C#.
How to make top row with filter?
How to make colors to alternate?
I want to put unicode characters in my SheetData, but when i oppen the excel it gives me an error..
Change the top row color.
Can you say if there are some proper ways to do this, some more documentation than these available on msdn, or post some StyleSheet code?
Sorry for my english.
Thanks.
I think that your question is really about how to create tables in a spreadsheet. Tables are a cool feature of Open XML / Excel 2007 / 2010 that enable you to sort a range of cells by clicking on column headings. Also they are presented with alternative color bands for rows. There are additional features, such as ability to have a total row, and automatic expansion when you insert a row.
I've written a blog post about tables and how to create them: Exploring Table Markup in SpreadsheetML. In addition, I've recorded a 15 minute screen-cast that explores the markup, and shows how to create an Open XML SDK program that converts ordinary cells into a table.

I can't give you a silver bullet, unfortunately, but what I did when trying to work out how to build Word Documents with OpenXML was to do the work in Word, then explore the resulting .docx file to see what the effect was.
I've suggest that the same investigative approach may help you with your spreadsheet.

C# using Excel Interop Updating Formulas

I have a C# application that builds Excel files from an existing template. On the template I want to have my row totals/averages in place and to update to however many rows are inserted by the application (Between the header and footer rows). This should be simple but I am drawing a blank in trying to remember how to do such a thing.
Excel should automatically update the ranges in the footer formulas providing that the footer formulas reference at least two rows and the insertion happens between those two rows.
