iTextSharp table not displayed in document

Question

I'm trying to create a simple PDF with header and table. I create the document but the table is not displayed in the document.

I followed: mikesdotnetting.com http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/86/iTextSharp-Introducing-Tables

But for some reason it doesn't work for me.

I use the below code:

    Document document = new Document();
    PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, ms);
    Paragraph header = new Paragraph(new Phrase("some title"));
    Phrase phrase = new Phrase("dasdasdas");
    byte[] streamBytes;

    header.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
    document.Open();
    document.Add(header);
    document.Add(table);

    table.AddCell("cell1");
    table.AddCell("cell2");

    document.Close();

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You are adding the table to the document before adding anything to it. You need to fully create the table and then add it to the document.

table.AddCell("cell1");
table.AddCell("cell2");

document.Add(table);
