C # code to fill color in table cell in text document

Question

I created a word document that contains a table using C #. Now I want to fill in one of the cells in this table with red color. While searching the net, I discovered that you can use a shader object for this. But I do not know how I can use it.

I tried using something like:

doc.Tables[whichTable].Cell(1,4).Range.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor 

But how can I set the color using this?

If you look at this one, you will see the listed WdColor constants. These are the colors available for the word, to learn more about them, there is a listing of the listings here .

Your code to select a table cell looks correct for me, so you just need to set BackgroundPatternColor to one of WdColors.
