Posted on by Samkit 51

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement to generate excel in which background color is required.

I have tried following code:

cell = null;
cell = cells.get_Item(currentRow, 1);
style = cell.style;

var fill = style.Fill;
var patternType = fill.PatternType;
patternType = OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelFillStyle.Solid;

var backgroundColor = fill.BackgroundColor;
backgroundColor.SetColor(System.Drawing.Color::FromArgb(190, 0, 0));

I am using OfficeOpenXml;

But am getting bellow error:

Can't set color when patterntype is not set.

I have also tried using patternType = ExcelFillStyle::Solid but received same error.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Samkit,

    Try to use set method for PatterType on fill variable.

    fill.set_PatternType(OfficeOpenXml.Style.ExcelFillStyle::Solid);
