Property Color As Color
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Color |
A Color structure that specifies the border line color.
|
Use the Color property to set or obtain the cell border color. If you specify the Color for a border without setting it’s Border.LineStyle, the border line style will be automatically set to BorderLineStyle.Thin. Change the border’s Border.LineStyle if required.
For more information on how to customize cell borders, refer to the How to: Add and Remove Cell Borders example.
This example demonstrates how to specify different borders for individual cells and ranges of cells by modifying the Borders object.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
// Set each particular border for the cell.
Cell cellB2 = worksheet.Cells["B2"];

// Set diagonal borders for the cell.
Cell cellC4 = worksheet.Cells["C4"];
Borders cellC4Borders = cellC4.Borders;
cellC4Borders.SetDiagonalBorders(Color.Orange, BorderLineStyle.Double, DiagonalBorderType.UpAndDown);
// Set all outside borders for the cell in one step.
Cell cellD6 = worksheet.Cells["D6"];

// Set all borders for the range of cells in one step.

range1.Borders.SetAllBorders(Color.Green, BorderLineStyle.Double);
