Features

Creating table formatted text.

Creating a table

Creating customizable tables is fast and easy.

Some of the things you can do with a table inlude:

Adding columns.
Adding rows.
Choosing a header style.
Choosing a footer style.
Choosing a guide character.

Example #1

Table table = new Table("[Namespace:]", "[Class:]", "[Method:]");

table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_Processor", "Name");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_TemperatureProbe", "CurrentReading");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_BIOS", "Version");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_PhysicalMemory", "PositionInRow");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_PhysicalMemory", "Model");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_PhysicalMemory", "MaxVoltage");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2", "Win32_SerialPort", "DeviceID");

// Spacing between columns.
table.ColumnMargin = 2;

// Character to display between cells in a row. Used for added readability.
table.GroupingCharacter = '·';

// Table styling.
table.Header.BorderStyle = HeaderBorderStyle.Column;
table.Footer.BorderStyle = FooterBorderStyle.Dual;
table.Footer.StatsType = FooterStatsType.Advanced;

table.Print();

Example #2

List<string> failedComponents = new List<string>();

// Imagine having a method that returns WMI information but some
// of the paths you try to get a value from don't exist or return null.
// You would add that bad path to this list during runtime. But for right
// now, we will just do it manually for the sake of the example.
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_Processor Name");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_TemperatureProbe CurrentReading");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_BIOS Version");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_PhysicalMemory PositionInRow");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_PhysicalMemory Model");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_PhysicalMemory MaxVoltage");
table.Add("Root\\CIMV2 Win32_SerialPort DeviceID");

Table table = new Table("[Namespace:]", "[Class:]", "[Method:]");

for (int i = 0; i < failedComponents.Count(); i++)
{
    table.Add(failedComponents[i].Split(' ').ToArray());
}

// Spacing between columns.
table.ColumnMargin = 2;

// Character to display between cells in a row. Used for added readability.
table.GroupingCharacter = '·';

// Table styling.
table.Header.BorderStyle = HeaderBorderStyle.Column;
table.Footer.BorderStyle = FooterBorderStyle.Dual;
table.Footer.StatsType = FooterStatsType.Advanced;

Console.WriteLine(table.ToString());
