Examples

The following code example uses the BorderAround method to apply a thick border around an XmlMappedRange. The example then prompts the user to clear the border by using the ClearFormats method. This code example assumes that the current worksheet contains an XmlMappedRange named CustomerLastNameCell.

Private Sub SetBorder()
    Me.CustomerLastNameCell.BorderAround( _
        Weight:=Excel.XlBorderWeight.xlThick, _
        ColorIndex:=Excel.XlColorIndex.xlColorIndexAutomatic)

    If MessageBox.Show("Clear the border?", "Test", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) = _
        DialogResult.Yes Then 
        Me.CustomerLastNameCell.ClearFormats()
    End If 
End Sub

private void SetBorder()
{
    this.CustomerLastNameCell.BorderAround(missing, 
        Excel.XlBorderWeight.xlThick, 
        Excel.XlColorIndex.xlColorIndexAutomatic, missing);

    if (MessageBox.Show("Clear the border?", "Test",
        MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
    {
        this.CustomerLastNameCell.ClearFormats();
    }
}
