Hi ,
i have something like this for creating a table via migradoc
Document document = new Document();
Table table = new Table();
Column column = table.AddColumn(Unit.FromInch(7));
Cell cell;
Row row = table.AddRow();
cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph("test");
table.SetEdge(0, 0, 1, 1, Edge.Box, BorderStyle.Single, 1.5);
document.LastSection.Add(table);

problem is i want to add a background image to the table not for a cell.
how to do this? someone please help

Hello!

AFAIK background images are not supported - neither for cells nor for tables.

You can achieve a similar effect if you add an image just before you add the table. Set the WrapStyle of the image to "Through" and the table will be drawn above the image.

AddImage returns the image and allows you to change its appearance:

hi
just a quick clarification..
in my code i have cell.AddParagraph("test")
the text is coming after leaving a small gap from left side of table.so when am applying image ,the image is starting where the text starts am i missing something? or is it by default that way? anything i can do to make the image start from table left end without leaving gap..

Hello!

It's a feature: the text in the table is left aligned with the text outside the table.

You can give the image a negative left position to make up for the padding of the table
