I am writing code for generating my report in PDF using MigraDoc. I have downloaded the code from PDFSharp site. The following has 3 functions DefineStyles(), CreatePage(), FillContent(). I made changes in function CreatePage(), FillContent(); But when I am running the program I am getting error saying

Argument out of Exception:
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

In the CreatePage() I added 2 rows and 2 columns to a table. And in the FillContent() function I read my XML file. But I am unable to find where I am crossing my index range.

SOLVED

The problem is when I am setting the table.SetEdge(…). I am accessing the columns that I have not created.
Thank u all .. 🙂

Answer 1

At this step I was setting the rows that are not yet created.

this.table.SetEdge(0, 0, 2, 3, Edge.Box, BorderStyle.Single, 0.75, Color.Empty);

Instead of 3 which are the number of rows I should use 2.
