Question

I am writing some data from database to the excel via visual basic.net.I need to change background of some cells and also need to make text bold. I need something like that :

 xlWorkSheet.Cells(rownumber, 1).BackgroundColor = Color.Yellow
 xlWorkSheet.Cells(rownumber, 1).Font.isBold = True

Of course none of above is works.How can I achieve this? Thanks..

You need to create a Excel.Style object, and apply that to a range. Like this:

Dim style As Excel.Style = xlWorkSheet.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Styles.Add("NewStyle")
style.Font.Bold = True
style.Interior.Color = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Yellow)

xlWorkSheet.Cells(rownumber, 1).Style = "NewStyle"
