CellRange Class

Namespace:
GemBox.Spreadsheet
Assembly:
GemBox.Spreadsheet.dll

Cell range is a rectangular group of worksheet cells.

public class CellRange : AbstractRange, IEnumerable<ExcelCell>, IEnumerable
Public Class CellRange
    Inherits AbstractRange
    Implements IEnumerable(Of ExcelCell), IEnumerable
Inheritance:
System.Object
CellRange
Implements
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ExcelCell>
System.Collections.IEnumerable
Remarks

Cell range is determined by its FirstRowIndex, FirstColumnIndex, LastRowIndex and LastColumnIndex borders. These properties are read-only, so if you require different cell range use one of the following methods: GetSubrangeAbsolute(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32), GetSubrangeRelative(Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32), GetSubrange(String) or GetSubrange(String, String). Specific cell can be accessed in a few ways, depending on IndexingMode. Cells in the range can be merged / unmerged by the use of Merged property.

Value property set will set value of multiple cells or of a merged range. Value property get has meaning only if range is merged; otherwise, exception is thrown.

Sort(Boolean)

Gets the SortState active on the parent worksheet (Sort) if active Range is equal to this CellRange and parameter active is true; otherwise, a new SortState instance, which is set as active on the parent worksheet if parameter active is true.

SortState is used to store sort settings and to apply sort on this range of cells.

public SortState Sort(bool active)
Public Function Sort(active As Boolean) As SortState
Parameters
active
System.Boolean

if set to true, gets or sets the SortState active on the parent worksheet (Sort).

Returns
SortState

The SortState active on the parent worksheet (Sort) if active Range is equal to this CellRange and parameter active is true; otherwise, a new SortState instance, which is set as active on the parent worksheet if parameter active is true.

Remarks

Use this method (with parameter active set to false) to create multiple independent SortStates for the same CellRange instance, even if it has an active SortState (Sort), which can then be stored and used later on.
