C# Nested Tables in Word

I'm trying to design a table that has 3 additional tables in the last cell. Like this.
I've managed to get the first nested table into row 4, but my second nested table is going into cell(1,1) of the first table.
var wordApplication = new Word.Application();
wordApplication.Visible = true;
var wordDocument = wordApplication.Documents.Add();
var docRange = wordDocument.Range();
docRange.Tables.Add(docRange, 4, 1);
var mainTable = wordDocument.Tables[1];
mainTable.set_Style("Table Grid");
mainTable.Borders.Enable = 0;
mainTable.PreferredWidthType = Word.WdPreferredWidthType.wdPreferredWidthPercent;
mainTable.PreferredWidth = 100;
docRange.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart);
var phoneRange = mainTable.Cell(4, 1).Range;
phoneRange.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart);
phoneRange.Tables.Add(phoneRange, 3, 2);
var phoneTable = mainTable.Cell(4, 1).Tables[1];
phoneTable.set_Style("Table Grid");
phoneTable.Borders.Enable = 0;
phoneTable.AutoFitBehavior(Word.WdAutoFitBehavior.wdAutoFitContent);
phoneTable.Rows.RelativeHorizontalPosition = Word.WdRelativeHorizontalPosition.wdRelativeHorizontalPositionMargin;
phoneRange.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseEnd);
I've tried collapsing the range, adding in a paragraph then collapsing the range again. No luck. I found this post and many similar ones, but I must be missing something.
Thanks for your time.

It usually helps in situation like these to add a line in your code: phoneRange.Select(); and having code execution end with that. Take a look at where the Range actually is. Now you can test using the keyboard where the Range needs to be in order to insert the next table successfully.
Since you say phoneRange selects outside the third row, rather than working with phoneRange try setting a new Range object to phoneTable.Range then collapse it to its end-point.

Iterate through MySql database using C# displaying rows in textbox's foreach or while loop

I'm having a little trouble with my application, I have a Database connected and have already displays the values from the first row in the database, however I need to have the database iterate through each row and display them accordingly replacing what was previously there and ideally being delayed by a timer
I thought this was the correct way of going about it however it doesn't seem right as now it doesn't display anything and gives me a System.NullReferenceException. I have tried to solve the issue but seems to be having no luck. If you could recommend something to read, that would be greatly helpful just can't see a lot on the internet for my specific problem
Any help will be great first time posting on here so sorry if things are in the wrong format.
private void FillInTextFields(DataTable table, int ind)
{
foreach(DataRow dr in table.Rows)
{
foreach(var item in dataRow.ItemArray)
{
dataRow = table.Rows[ind];
txtNHSNumber.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(0).ToString();
txtFirstName.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(1).ToString();
txtLastName.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(2).ToString();
txtTimeDate.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(3).ToString();
txtHeartRate.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(4).ToString();
txtTemp.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(5).ToString();
txtReps.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(6).ToString();
txtDia.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(7).ToString();
txtSys.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(8).ToString();
}
}
}

foreach(var item in dataRow.ItemArray)
should be:
foreach(var item in dr.ItemArray)
can put a sleep at the end of the loop to delay before going back to the top.

It seems you have a few issues. First, your inner loop doesn't seem to be necessary. Second, the outer loop is going through all the rows, even though you're specifically passing the row index into your method. Finally, it seems you're using your "dataRow" variable before it's assigned, although I'd have to see more code to be sure. Consider this:
private void FillInTextFields(DataTable table, int ind)
{
dataRow = table.Rows[ind];
txtNHSNumber.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(0).ToString();
txtFirstName.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(1).ToString();
txtLastName.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(2).ToString();
txtTimeDate.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(3).ToString();
txtHeartRate.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(4).ToString();
txtTemp.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(5).ToString();
txtReps.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(6).ToString();
txtDia.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(7).ToString();
txtSys.Text = dataRow.ItemArray.GetValue(8).ToString();
}
You'll just need to call this method with the particular index you want to display.
You can also remove the ItemArray.GetValue stuff, and just go with this:
private void FillInTextFields(DataTable table, int ind)
{
dataRow = table.Rows[ind];
txtNHSNumber.Text = dataRow[0].ToString();
txtFirstName.Text = dataRow[1].ToString();
txtLastName.Text = dataRow[2].ToString();
txtTimeDate.Text = dataRow[3].ToString();
txtHeartRate.Text = dataRow[4].ToString();
txtTemp.Text = dataRow[5].ToString();
txtReps.Text = dataRow[6].ToString();
txtDia.Text = dataRow[7].ToString();
txtSys.Text = dataRow[8].ToString();
}

Not sure why you are passing int ind in this method it's not needed.
private void FillInTextFields(DataTable table)
{
txtNHSNumber.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[0];
txtFirstName.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[1];
txtLastName.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[2];
txtTimeDate.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[3];
txtHeartRate.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[4];
txtTemp.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[5];
txtReps.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[6];
txtDia.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[7];
txtSys.Text = table.Rows[0].ItemArray[8];
}

DataView.Count() returns more than one value

I'm kinda new to all this so I'll try to be as specific as possible..
I'm trying to create a button that'll display two dates in another form. So I've written this:
DataView dv = new DataView(dataComercioDataSet.Comex);
dv.Sort = "Id";
int ixe = dv.Find(idTextBox.Text);
DateTime embarque = Convert.ToDateTime(dv[ixe]["FechaEmbarque"]);
otherForm.fechaEmbarqueDateTimePicker.Value = embarque;
DateTime vencimiento = Convert.ToDateTime(dv[ixe]["FechaVencimiento"]);
otherForm.fechaVencimientoDateTimePicker.Value = vencimiento;
otherForm.idBox1.Text = dv[ixe]["Id"].ToString();
this.comexTableAdapter.FillBy3(this.dataComercioDataSet.Comex, c41TextBox.Text);
Now, when I click the button it catches an exception showing that it's a DBNull object. So I decide to test it by adding this:
if (dv.Count == 1)
{
MessageBox.Show("1");
}
if (dv.Count == 0) ;
{
MessageBox.Show("0");
}
And it shows both! Since the exception states that it's DBNull I reckon dv.find must be returning 0, so I figure this:
if (ixe == 0)
{
ixe = 1;
DateTime embarque = Convert.ToDateTime(dv[ixe]["FechaEmbarque"]);
otherForm.fechaEmbarqueDateTimePicker.Value = embarque;
DateTime vencimiento = Convert.ToDateTime(dv[ixe]["FechaVencimiento"]);
otherForm.fechaVencimientoDateTimePicker.Value = vencimiento;
otherForm.idBox1.Text = dv[ixe]["Id"].ToString();
this.comexTableAdapter.FillBy3(this.dataComercioDataSet.Comex, c41TextBox.Text);
}
But when I do this, the exception is that index 1 is either negative or superior than row count (it's in spanish, I don't know if that's the actual translation)
Anyway, I think i'm not quite getting how DataView.Find() actually indexes the result, i mean, is row 1 = 1 or 0 ?
Thanks in advance!

Managed to work around this issue, somehow changing
DataView dv = new DataView(dataComercioDataSet.Comex);
to
DataView dv = new DataView();
dv = dataComercioDataSet.Comex.AsDataView();
solved the problem, not sure why though...

Hiding subtotals in pivot table in epplus

I'm using EPPLUS to generate my pivot table (see this SO post). I have the following code
//group by fields
foreach (string row in _GroupByColumns)
{
ExcelPivotTableField field = pivotTable.Fields[row];
//field formating
field.Sort = eSortType.Ascending;
field.Outline = false;
field.Compact = false;
field.ShowAll = false;
field.SubtotalTop = false; //doesn't work, subtotals still there when excel is opened
//doesn't work, will result in "unreadable content" error when Excel is opened
//field.SubTotalFunctions = eSubTotalFunctions.None;
//add it to the pivot
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(field);
}
_GroupByColumns is a List<string> that contains my group by columns.
I thought field.SubtotalTop = false; would hide subtotals. It doesn't. field.SubTotalFunctions = eSubTotalFunctions.None; results in "invalid data" error when I open my Excel. What else can I try?

I know this is an old question, but I'm adding this answer in case anybody Googles here.
You need to set the SubTotalFunctions property after adding the field to the RowFields collection. This is because adding it to the collection changes the XML node that SubTotalFunctions makes adjustments to. This will work...
ExcelPivotTableField field = pivotTable.Fields[row];
pivotTable.RowFields.Add(field);//<-- ADD IT FIRST
//field formating
field.Sort = eSortType.Ascending;
field.Outline = false;
field.Compact = false;
field.ShowAll = false;
field.SubtotalTop = false;
field.SubTotalFunctions = eSubTotalFunctions.None;//<-- THIS WILL WORK NOW

BindindSource Filter does not work

Please see the following code on a Winform Load method:
List<CustomersDTO> res = new List<CustomersDTO>();
res = _CustomerBO.GetCustomers();
customerBindingSource.DataSource = res;
customerDataGridView.DataSource = this.customerBindingSource;
customerBindingNavigator.BindingSource = this.customerBindingSource;
Now I want to filter on Searchbutton but I am not able to see filtered record on screen.
customerBindingSource.Filter = "Active = false";
I am missing something.. I did reasearch. Can anybody give me exact code example? I read about implementing IBindingList but not sure how to do that with my BindingSource..
Can anyone help?

You don't have to implement IBindingList. You can construct a BindingList as the DataSource of your customerBindingSource. Like This:
customerBindingSource.DataSource = new BindingList<CustomersDTO>(res);
