Merge Cells
GemBox.Document is a .NET component which enables developers to read, write, convert and print document files (DOCX, DOC, PDF, HTML, XPS, RTF and TXT) from .NET applications in a simple and efficient way. GemBox.Document Free is free of charge while GemBox.Document Professional is a commercial version licensed per developer.
GemBox.Document supports merged cells in the same way as HTML - every table cell contains RowSpan and ColumnSpan properties.
Following example demonstrates how to create a table with merged cells (RowSpan and / or ColumnSpan greater than 1).
